Our Research in Conservation

Research is our core contribution to the conservation of the world's biodiversity. It provides answers to fundamental theoretical and applied problems in conservation biology, as well as directing our teaching. 

We collaborate with people from around the world, including academic experts and conservation managers, to ensure our research has real world applications, while moving the theoretical aspects of conservation biology forward. 

Our research is separated into themes: environmental evidence and social conservation, we are also interested in methods to alleviate threatening processes and plant and animal conservation. These themes of our research tend to be highly multidisciplinary - drawing on the expertise of our diverse team.
