Biodiversity

Dingoes in the Crescent Head and Maria River areas have been wired with satellite-tracking collars to help improve wildlife management.

Species of woodland-dependent birds whose numbers have been declining are finding new homes in plantings of eucalypts and shrubs.

Efforts to restore wildlife habitat outside national parks need to be supported by more accurate ways of measuring biodiversity, say NSW DPI researchers.

A study of bats on farms suggests that new approaches are needed to revegetation and that it should not be automatically assumed that planting of native trees will increase biodiversity.
