About us
The assessment and Research section of NRETA assesses the conservation status of the Territory’s biodiversity, and works towards ensuring that biodiversity is maintained.
It does this through:
- environment surveys, especially into remote areas of the Territory;
- documenting Indigenous knowledge of environment;
- targeted research studies of threatened plants and animals;
- monitoring the abundance of representative plants and animals;
- studying the impact of a range of possible threatening factors, including fire, weeds, feral animals, grazing and clearing;
- developing advice for the management of biodiversity.
