Harmonised koala habitat mapping

A harmonised map of potential koala habitat was developed for the region encompassing Queensland, New South Wales (NSW) and the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). This map represents the area (ha) and presence of koala habitat in 100ha planning units across this region. The area of habitat is equivalent to the percent coverage of habitat in each planning unit. The map was developed by harmonising existing regional habitat mapping and range-wide and regional species distribution models. Additional models of koala habitat were developed for regions where datasets of koala habitat were not available. This dataset was developed to inform broad-scale conservation planning associated with the National Koala Recovery plan. The spatial resolution is 100 ha (approximately 1km) and it is not intended for identifying habitat at a fine scale, nor for use in environmental assessments or regulatory activities. The dataset has not been ground-truthed. Some areas identified as potential habitat may be too degraded or contain insufficient resources for koalas to occupy. Koalas may be present outside the areas identified as potential habitat. Further information is available in the report and README in this repository.为涵盖昆士兰州、新南威尔士州（New South Wales，NSW）及澳大利亚首都领地（Australian Capital Territory，ACT）的区域，开发了一套统一协调的考拉潜在栖息地地图。该地图以该区域内的100公顷规划单元为基础，记录了各单元内的栖息地面积（单位：公顷）与考拉栖息地存在情况。各规划单元的栖息地面积等同于该单元内的栖息地覆盖百分比。本地图通过协调整合现有区域栖息地测绘数据，以及全域与区域尺度的物种分布模型开发而成。针对无考拉栖息地数据集可用的区域，本研究额外开发了考拉栖息地模型。本数据集的开发旨在为与《国家考拉恢复计划》（National Koala Recovery Plan）相关的大规模保护规划提供参考依据。该数据集的空间分辨率为100公顷（约1千米），不适用于精细尺度的栖息地识别，亦不可用于环境评估或监管相关工作。本数据集未经过实地验证。部分被识别为潜在栖息地的区域可能退化程度过高，或缺乏足够的栖息资源，无法支撑考拉栖息。考拉亦可能栖息于本数据集未标记为潜在栖息地的区域内。更多详细信息可查阅本存储库中的报告与README文件。
