Human-driven environmental change has resulted in unprecedented loss of biodiversity. The design of conservation strategies for species’ persistence and recovery under these rapidly changing conditions is a major challenge. My thesis aims to evaluate species recovery and conservation implications, including genetic management, of Australian freshwater fish. My thesis helped to refine a new framework to assess species recovery and implications of conservation actions by including expert elicitation. Furthermore, I was able to emphasise the value of genetic management strategies in threatened species conservation. This research is at the forefront of international efforts investigating species recovery and genetic management.
