Brief description Bringing woodland birds back to the suburbs. This project aims to address the decline of woodland birds in Australian cities by understanding the drivers of loss, designing and testing strategies to reverse it, and investigating the link between bird conservation and human wellbeing. To our knowledge, this project is the first of its kind at this scale in urban areas. It will generate new knowledge in urban ecology and conservation psychology using interdisciplinary approaches. Expected outcomes include an understanding of the drivers of woodland bird occurrence across urban gradients, a set of evidence-based management strategies and evidence of the role of urban bird conservation for human wellbeing. This should provide significant benefits for bird conservation and human wellbeing.
