Open space planning and design can play an important role in ameliorating health social issues associated with the increasing ageing population regional Australia. We undertook a case study at Albury, NSW using online survey, focus groups park observations to explore way older people (>65) value use open spaces. While exhibiting diverse views, Australians' voices provided recommendations that maximise benefits of space. Well-designed facilities support walking other physical activity,...
Context Feral cats are responsible for the decline and extinction of species globally. Predation by feral is identified in Australian legislation as a key threatening process. However, clear guidance to local land managers on cat management techniques their impacts, limitations potential costs can be difficult find. Aims In this study, experts from around Australia available average environmental, social, economic impact different ecoregions land-use types. Methods We convened 1-day...
Abstract Taraba State, Nigeria, is an important conservation site for the Endangered Nigeria–Cameroon chimpanzee Pan troglodytes ellioti . Gashaka Gumti National Park, Nigeria's largest national park and home to potentially contiguous population of chimpanzee, spans a significant portion eastern sector adjoining Adamawa State. South Ngel Nyaki Forest Reserve comprises two forest fragments holds small chimpanzees. We investigated existence patterns in structure dispersal within this region,...
Summary Feral horse management is a complex social issue. Committed and active stakeholders hold strong beliefs regarding both the level of culling needed humane approaches to control. Ecological evidence supporting control expert advice on ethical can, in such contexts, have limited effect policy development application. Given this complexity, scientists an important role play developing longer term solutions. Three possible are evident: use knowledge exchange boundary spanning expertise;...

The River is most heavily regulated river system in Basin. Discussion around use water framed as a conflict between sustaining rural communities using to support ecological values, yet voices custodians relatively unheard this discussion.

Context Determining and quantifying habitat selection of endangered species in peri-urban environments assists planners managers to develop strategies alternative conservation measures the face urban expansion development. Sloane’s Froglet (Crinia sloanei), listed nationally as Australia, is a little-known distributed within environments, where foundational ecological information development adequate responses has been lacking. Aims (a) To determine core calling period for detection...
Abstract As the significance of environmental degradation for humanity becomes apparent, challenge developing expertise in integrating science, advocacy and implementation has been acknowledged. Addressing recent ongoing global challenges including mass extinction, climate change, disease threats to food, water power security requires employment evidence-based science multi-faceted approaches. Ensuring mobilisation new knowledge practice, both policy on-ground actions, takes many researchers...
Interactions between landholders, practitioners and research scientists have greatly influenced landscape restoration activities in South‐eastern Australia. Vegetation connectivity projects undertaken by Holbrook Landcare Network the Slopes to Summit (S2S) region of Australia benefitted from input both practitioners. This paper explores what factors support an evidence‐informed outcome, constrains this we can learn case.
