Biodiversity, Environmental Change and Restoration

Earth is on a path to devastating climate and environmental change. Our researchers have the expertise needed to identify the trajectory and causes of biodiversity responses to these changes, and to formulate evidence-based solutions to protect natural and human systems. We provide the context, tools and policy guidance needed to help mitigate future biodiversity losses and maintain resilient ecosystems in the face of shifting climates and other anthropogenic impacts. This includes, but is not limited to, expertise in ecological modelling, conservation science, environmental systems and management, palaeo and applied ecology, climatic change, and economics and decision making
