Cover; Foreword; Contents; Acknowledgements; About the authors; Contributors; 1Introduction: contested country -- regional natural resource management in Australia; 2 Potential impacts of development on flora and fauna; Types of impacts; Assessing impacts; 3 Selecting measures to reduce impacts of development on wildlife -- why an understanding of ecology is fundamental; Ecosystem processes, function and resilience; Species present and absent, and their habitat; Population ecology; Animal behaviour; Movement and dispersal; 4 Avoiding impacts on flora and fauna; Conservation planning.
Summary: The rapidly increasing number of threatened flora and fauna species worldwide is one of the chief problems confronting environmental professionals today. This problem is largely due to the impact humans have had on land use through development (e.g. agricultural, residential, industrial, infrastructure and mining developments). The requirement for developers to implement measures to reduce the impacts of development on wildlife is underpinned by government legislation. A variety of measures or strategies are available to reduce such impacts, including those to reduce impacts on flora and fauna.
