Management & Conservation of the Helmeted Honeyeater

Congratulations, you completed the quiz successfully.

You will now be given a budget of $1,000,000 to save the helmeted honeyeater. You must advise the State Government on the best way to spend it. Fortunately you can test the effectiveness of various management options by using a population model.

Options include food supplementation, fire management, predator control, re-vegetation, captive breeding, habitat management and competitor control.

Food supplementation increases the survival of both juveniles and adults.

Predator control reduces the number of birds lost each year.

The release of captive bred birds effectively increases the number of juveniles born into the population each year.

Environmental variation affects any natural population. To account for this birth rates, survival rates and the carrying capacity are varied each year.
