OUR projects
Projects
Our projects cover several areas into the science, strategy and policy of environmental conservation and management, from implementing a randomized control trial in order to evaluate the impacts of knowledge and credit transfer on the adoption of climate-smart agriculture by forest dwellers, to studying the linkages between migration, climate change and environmental changes, and engaging with conservation practitioners and policy makers to catalyse change. Here are some of our current projects.
