Abstract

T he journal Ecological Management & Restoration is now in its fourth volume and has found a niche as a bridge between the science and practice of ecology in Australasia and beyond. The range and quality of material in the first three volumes has been remarkable and is a clear indication of the health and vigour of field. The application of ecology to the management and restoration of Australia's ecosystems is not new, of course, but recognition has been growing of the importance of ensuring that a clear link exists between science and practice. This special issue brings together a series of papers that focus on the science of assessment, setting goals and measuring success. Setting goals for management and restoration is perhaps one of the most important steps in designing and implementing a project or program, and yet it is often either overlooked entirely or not done very well. There is a tendency to jump straight to the ‘doing’ part of a project without clearly articulating the reasons why things are being done and what the outcome should be. Ensuring that goals are both explicit enough to be meaningful and realistic enough to be achievable is a
