This project aims to improve how biodiversity is measured by developing a system to describe the condition of animal communities, analogous to those used for plant communities. It develops and tests the system for Australia’s birds, then extends the approach to other animal groups. The project expects to develop a data-driven typology of bird communities, accompanying community condition metrics that are scalable from site to national levels, and guidance for using these metrics in practice. These metrics will enable holistic and relevant measures of the biodiversity value of sites, improve evaluation of restoration actions, reveal trends in community condition, and inform monitoring and evaluation tools for emerging biodiversity markets.

该项目旨在通过开发一个系统来描述动物群落状况（类似于植物社区的动物社区的状况）来改善生物多样性的衡量。它为澳大利亚的鸟类开发和测试系统，然后将方法扩展到其他动物群体。该项目预计将开发出鸟类社区的数据驱动类型，参与社区状况指标，这些指标可扩展到国家层面，以及在实践中使用这些指标的指导。这些指标将实现网站生物多样性价值的整体和相关度量，改善对恢复行动的评估，揭示社区状况的趋势，并为新兴的生物多样性市场提供监控和评估工具。
