This report presents the results of extensive surveys in the Douglas Daly region of the Top End of the Northern Territory in 2007 and 2008, a region that has been the focus of agricultural development. The aim of the surveys was to investigate the relationship between fragmentation, habitat loss and terrestrial biodiversity.

ECOS article: Australian bird status survey a call to action

Url: 
www.ecosmagazine.com/paper/EC12156.htm
This article discusses the outcomes of the recently published third 'Action Plan for Australian Birds', which provides an up-to-date snapshot of the conservation status of every species and subspecies of Australian bird. The study applies the IUCN criteria for threatened species to Australian birds, and was undertaken by a team from Charles Darwin University.
