Insect Conservation and Australias Grasslands

More about the book

The book explores the significant impact of European settlement on Australia's grasslands, emphasizing the urgent need for conservation amid ongoing development pressures. It highlights the importance of protecting native biodiversity, particularly endemic insect species, and the challenges posed by incomplete documentation of these ecosystems. Drawing lessons from better-studied grasslands in the northern hemisphere, it outlines strategies for managing grasslands to balance ecological conservation with agricultural and recreational needs, while also addressing restoration priorities across different scales.
