The 精东视频 today launched an 精东视频 initiative to better manage Australia鈥檚 stressed ecosystems, and announced a national working group to implement its recommendations.
Launched in Melbourne this morning by the Hon. John Brumby, Stressed Ecosystems: Better decisions for Australia鈥檚 future is the work of around 60 early and mid-career scientists and social scientists brought together from across disciplines and around Australia for a Theo Murphy High Flyers Think Tank in Brisbane late last year.
Think Tank co-convenor Professor Mark Burgman said the document鈥檚 recommendations are already on their way to being implemented.
鈥淪tate, territory and federal governments have each nominated a representative to work with scientists on the implementation committee whose focus is to improve the management of Australia鈥檚 natural environment,鈥� Professor Burgman said.
鈥淭his approach brings communities, governments and other stakeholders together with scientists who can develop models to predict potential outcomes of particular actions.
鈥淢odelling the consequences of those actions will enable more informed and hopefully better decision-making.鈥�
The Think Tank participants examined four ecosystems: Queensland鈥檚 Bowen and Surat Basins, the Ningaloo Marine Park in Western Australia, Melbourne鈥檚 peri-urban grasslands and the Murray-Darling Basin.
鈥淓ach of these ecosystems is subject to competing needs and stresses, such as environmental, mining or tourism industry, urban expansion, recreation and community,鈥� Professor Burgman said.
鈥淯sing these specific ecosystems as modelling examples we have developed a way to ensure that each competing interest or voice is heard and integrated into a model for managing the ecosystem in a sustainable way.鈥�
The major recommendations of the report are:
