Biodiversity is highly threatened in Australian cities. This project aims to prevent further wildlife loss by creating a blueprint for the ecological restoration of urban spaces. Working with seven Councils and three State government agencies in northern Sydney, this project will experimentally assess a new approach to conservation by restoring regionally-present but locally-missing wildlife. Expected outcomes include the restoration of ecosystem services provided by wildlife and increased opportunities for community engagement with nature. Project benefits include initiating rewilding in urban areas, improved public education on the benefits of restoring wildlife and greater potential to conserve our biodiversity and cultural heritage.

澳大利亚城市的生物多样性受到严重威胁。该项目旨在通过创建城市空间生态恢复蓝图来防止野生动物进一步丧失。该项目将与悉尼北部的七个议会和三个州政府机构合作，通过恢复该地区存在但当地缺失的野生动物来实验评估一种新的保护方法。预期成果包括恢复野生动物提供的生态系统服务以及增加社区参与自然的机会。项目的好处包括在城市地区启动野生动物恢复、改善关于恢复野生动物的好处的公众教育以及保护我们的生物多样性和文化遗产的更大潜力。
