The proceedings of the Other 99% is split into five main theme areas regarding assessing invertebrate biodiversity; importance of invertebrate biodiversity; conservation and endangered species; and communicating invertebrate issues to the public and media. Each of these themes are based on the conference symposia and include and actual case studies. Summaries of the outcomes of two workshops held in conjunction with the conference are also included in the volume. One of these examines the ways in which conservationists and land managers can use invertebrate data to manage Australia's biodiversity, the other assesses criteria for conserving invertebrates.
