Data and observation challenges for natural capital accounting – how do we count the threatened species? - Hybrid event

This presentation is for those who love big data and its application to conservation. Using real data, this talk will explore:

• the difficulties of establishing standard observation methods, and having them adopted and used consistently over the long term
• what we think we have learnt about trends over the past decade, especially in the face of changes in land use and conservation management
• how we have obtained the data to show the trends
• whether random records can be useful in establishing trends
• what to do with gaps in a long-term record
• whether signs of threatened species count as much as actual sightings.

Who should attend

UQ HDR students, Staff or researchers. This is a public event, and all are welcome.
