Global Collaboration, Tangible Solutions: Teams Driving Science Into Action
Discover our most recently launched working groups!
Human Climate Migration and Biodiversity
When the changing climate causes human migration, what are the consequences for biodiversity?
Advancing Ocean Equity
How and when does equitable governance improve social and ecological outcomes in coastal initiatives?
Gold Mining and Mercury in the Amazon
What can civil society do to address the environmental and social harms caused by gold mining and associated mercury contamination in the Amazon Basin?
Outcomes
Our work is focused on solutions — from changing policies to sharing research and providing tools to conservation groups. Our teams have published science papers that influenced global leaders like the World Bank. Media coverage of our ivory trade research in National Geographic and Time encouraged the Chinese government to consider economic factors in their ivory trade ban.
