Abstract/Summary:
This project stemmed from a recognition that, whilst many companies are attempting to establish native ecosystems following mining, little is documented regarding the best ways to promote fauna recolonisation. To review innovative techniques that companies around Australia are using to promote the return of fauna to native ecosystems established following mining. The findings were synthesized into practical recommendations that can be incorporated into rehabilitation operations and management plans to increase the rate at which faunal communities become re-established, and rare or uncommon species recolonise.
