We integrate natural and social sciences to address fundamental research questions and real-world environmental problems.
We Ask…
How does land management affect biodiversity and ecosystem services? How can conservation protect biodiversity and improve human well-being? How do we meet the needs of people and biodiversity in an increasingly crowded, changing world?
To find answers…
We collaborate widely; use field experiments, spatial models, and data synthesis; and we team up with landowners, leaders, and non-profits to inform real-world decisions.
To communicate our findings…
We publish our work in peer-reviewed articles and produce practical tools to help guide policies and decisions.
We also strive for open science, so all our data are made publicly-available whenever possible.
To encourage diversity…
We are committed to creating an inclusive community of scholars - one that is full of creative collaborations and supportive relationships.
