... We examine the nature and extent of listings of endangered ecological communities (EECs) under the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 ( TSC Act ), including the role of endangered ecological communities in conservation from the landscape to species level. We ask how well...

... for conservation into the 21st century. We have to integrate people and nature, and involve people in conservation across landscapes within and outside parks and reserves. This will require working with local people, understanding cultural factors, sharing knowledge and power, and developing and applying...

... that ‘off reserve’ or ‘new reserve’ efforts should be integrated into and build on existing national parks if the agreed goal of whole of landscape conservation is to be achieved. ...

... in the insect world, and this too adds a further facet to their conservation. Additionally, insect populations are often highly dynamic, with great vagility and population variability. Conservation of this complexity can only be done at the level of the landscape, so as to incorporate all the interactions...

... for wild-shot kangaroos as an alternative to conventional sheep grazing has much to offer the conservation of rangelands, but there are some who strongly oppose any commercial use of Australia's wildlife.

... Fauna focuses on Australia's rich share of that international heritage and seeks to conserve forest fauna, wherever it occurs on the landscape, as part of a larger enterprise of conserving Australia's natural legacy. ...

... to argue that point measures of frequency are inadequate to understand scale and pattern across landscapes. Rather, extrapolating from site-based data to draw conclusions on landscape-scale changes may obscure fine-scale heterogeneity in disturbance, which is critical to the conservation of biodiversity...

... and test new predictions about the influence of the landscape heterogeneity and seasonal variability on species' distribution and abundance, and thereby help advance the conservation of wildlife in the arid zone. ...

..., thus enabling separate management and conservation of evolutionarily divergent groups, and informing reintroduction/translocation planning. 2/ Identification of population structure to enable conservation management plans to be targeted at local populations. 3/ Examination of the effects of landscape...

..., and on wilderness, threatened species, and alien (exotic) species. The result is a fragmented reserve system that cannot conserve continental biodiversity in the long-term, and inadequate funding for less charismatic species or preventing common species from becoming threatened. A whole-of-landscape approach...

.... Habitat models which underpin the requirements of the TSL need refining, management emphasis needs to shift from records-based to landscape - community level and survey requirements need adjustment to improve conservation outcomes. A considerable number of improvements are required to the TSL to deliver...
