Rapid loss of habitat threatens the Leadbeater's possum with extinction before the end of this century. This project aims to develop a range of stand-scale silvicultural prescriptions to accelerate the development of the key features of Leadbeater's possum habitat: large, hollow-bearing trees and a relatively dense Acacia mid-storey. These aim to then inform landscape-scale management planning scenarios developed in conjunction with the Partner Organisations, DEPI and VicForests, to identify spatially and temporally explicit strategies for modifying forest management practices in the key areas of Leadbeater's possum habitat. The outcome aims to be an empirically based landscape-scale management plan to maximise the long-term viability of Leadbeater's possum.

栖息地的迅速丧失将导致利德比特负鼠在本世纪末之前面临灭绝的危险。该项目旨在开发一系列林分规模的造林方案，以加速利德比特负鼠栖息地的主要特征的发展：大型、中空的树木和相对茂密的中层相思树。这些旨在为与合作伙伴组织 DEPI 和 VicForests 共同制定的景观规模管理规划方案提供信息，以确定修改 Leadbeater 负鼠栖息地关键区域的森林管理实践的空间和时间明确策略。其结果旨在成为一个基于经验的景观规模管理计划，以最大限度地提高利德比特负鼠的长期生存能力。
