Brief description Conserving species in human-modified landscapes: incorporating spatial population processes. Many regions of Australia are experiencing rapid population growth and urban expansion and these are predominantly located in areas that are rich in biodiversity. Therefore, conserving biodiversity in these regions is critical for the conservation of Australia's unique flora and fauna. This project will make a major national contribution to this by developing new conservation planning tools to conserve biodiversity in areas where people live and work. This will have substantial benefits for achieving environmentally sustainable development in Australia, maintaining quality of life in urban areas, and sustaining Australia's important nature-based tourism industry.
