Science and Research: Advancing Conservation Through Innovation

Climate Change Research

Climate change is one of the greatest threats to our planet, and understanding its impacts is crucial to developing effective conservation strategies. Our projects focus on how rising temperatures, increased carbon dioxide levels, and changing weather patterns are affecting ecosystems worldwide. By studying these changes, our project partners can develop targeted solutions to mitigate their impact, protect vulnerable species, and restore critical habitats.

Our climate-related research projects also include those aimed at protecting and restoring coastal and marine ecosystems, which are particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change.

Field Research: Understanding Ecosystems and Wildlife

Field research is fundamental to our conservation work, providing the data and insights needed to protect endangered species and their habitats. Our partner teams work on the ground in some of the most remote and biodiverse regions of the world, studying everything from wildlife behaviour to habitat use and population dynamics.

• Wildlife Monitoring: We support comprehensive monitoring programmes that track the movements, behaviours, and populations of species such as elephants, tigers, and primates. This data is crucial for informing conservation strategies and ensuring that efforts are tailored to the specific needs of each species.
• Habitat Restoration Research: Field studies also focus on understanding the best practices for habitat restoration, from reforestation techniques to wetland rehabilitation. By combining local knowledge with scientific expertise, our partners can develop restoration strategies that are effective and sustainable.

Genomics: Supporting Pioneering Conservation Genetics

We are proud to support groundbreaking research in the field of genomics, which is revolutionising conservation biology. Genomics allows scientists to study the DNA of species with unprecedented detail, providing insights into genetic diversity, population health, and evolutionary history.

A Commitment to Science-Driven Conservation

Our dedication to science and research is driven by the belief that evidence-based conservation is the key to addressing the environmental challenges of our time. By supporting cutting-edge research, we can help to make a tangible difference in the fight to protect our planet’s biodiversity.
