Table 2 Major conservation sub-tasks and associated scales
From: Conservation and grazing in Australia’s north-east: the bridled nailtail wallaby
Sub tasks | Spatial scale required | Temporal scale required | Locations |
|---|---|---|---|
1. Captive breeding | <1 ha | Years | |
2. Isolated natural habit populations | 400-600 ha | Decades | ‘Avocet’ – operational grazing property |
3. Genetic interplay between populations | Connections between the system parts | Decades | Queensland |
4. Connected natural habit populations | >500,000 ha | Centuries | Nowhere - unlikely |
