Northern Inland Koala Habitat Restoration Project

The Northern Inland region of New South Wales has a history of active vegetation restoration programs. However, there is no central repository for documenting these efforts and summarising their benefits to koalas in the region. This BioCollect project has been developed to address that need. The format and content were developed by experienced ecological restoration practitioners. Data acquired on the location and characteristics of restoration sites, the work undertaken at the sites and the outcomes achieved create an information base for coordinating and planning large-scale restoration programs, and provide data for summarising and analysing restoration work at different spatial and temporal scales. Data is entered into standard forms. The Site Information and Work Details form captures characteristics of the work site and details the on-ground restoration activities conducted at the site. Additional data forms log the progress of restoration work on individual sites and results of site monitoring programs. The data entry templates developed for this project are available to ALA BioCollect Ecoscience Projects in other regions and with other vegetation restoration goals. Assistance with navigating the project and entering data is available in the User Guide and associated documents which can be found in the Documents & Resources page. The project is funded by the NSW Koala Strategy.

新南威尔士州北部内陆地区长期积极开展植被恢复项目，但目前尚无集中的知识库来记录此类修复工作，并总结其对当地考拉的益处。本BioCollect项目正是为满足这一需求而开发，其格式与内容由经验丰富的生态修复从业者制定。项目收集修复场地的位置与特征、场地内开展的修复工作及取得的成果等数据，以此构建信息库，用于协调规划大规模植被修复项目，并为不同空间与时间尺度下的修复工作总结与分析提供数据支撑。数据通过标准化表单录入：场地信息与工作详情表单用于记录修复场地的特征，以及现场开展的地面修复活动；额外的数据表单则用于记录单个场地的修复工作进度，以及场地监测项目的结果。本项目开发的数据录入模板，可供其他地区及有其他植被修复目标的ALA BioCollect生态科学项目使用。项目操作与数据录入的相关帮助可在文档与资源页面的用户指南及配套文档中获取。本项目由新南威尔士州考拉战略（NSW Koala Strategy）资助。
