Port Macquarie-Kempsey Koala Habitat Restoration Project

The Port Macquarie-Kempsey region of New South Wales has a long history of vegetation restoration work. However, there is no central repository for documenting these efforts. Participants in the Northern Rivers Koala Habitat Restoration Webinar in 2020 identified standardised data capture for restoration works as a priority action. This 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. A second data form, currently in development, will log the 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 which can be found in the Resources page.
The project has been funded by the NSW Koala Strategy.

新南威尔士州（New South Wales）的麦夸里港-肯普西地区拥有悠久的植被恢复工作历史，但目前尚无集中式知识库来记录此类工作成果。2020年举办的北河考拉栖息地恢复网络研讨会（Northern Rivers Koala Habitat Restoration Webinar）中，参会者将恢复工作的标准化数据采集列为优先行动事项。本项目正是为满足这一需求而开发，其格式与内容均由经验丰富的生态恢复从业者制定。

采集恢复位点的位置与特征、位点已开展的工作以及所取得的成果的数据，可构建用于协调和规划大规模恢复计划的信息基础，并为不同空间与时间尺度下的恢复工作总结与分析提供数据支撑。

数据通过标准化表单进行录入。其中"位点信息与工作详情（Site Information and Work Details）"表单用于记录工作位点的特征及现场开展的恢复活动细节；目前正在开发的第二套数据表单，将用于记录位点监测计划的成果。本项目开发的数据录入模板，可供其他地区以及具备其他植被恢复目标的ALA BioCollect生态科学项目使用。

本项目由新南威尔士州考拉战略（NSW Koala Strategy）资助。
