Invertebrate conservation in the North East Forests of New South Wales
We will develop a spatial, taxonomic and ecological information system for the resampling of priority invertebrate taxa across sites surveyed in the 1993 North East Forests survey. The project will nominate threatened invertebrate species, select putative sites for species recovery, develop tools for long-term monitoring, and capacity-building for on-ground conservation actions. Aside from meeting the statutory requirement for conserving threatened species, we will link with local and indigenous communities, as well as other stakeholders such as the citizen science sector. We will develop an invertebrate conservation framework, from the science bench to smart phone apps, mediated by capacity building workshops.
