Well, <\/span>first<\/b>, <\/span>we seek to understand<\/b>: How do ecological communities function? How are species related to their environment? Which mechanisms regulate biodiversity patterns, and how do they do so? What is the effect of climate change on species communities? What is the impact of anthropogenic pressures on wildlife and natural ecosystems?<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Then<\/b>, <\/span>we seek to transform knowledge into policy and practice<\/b>. We address major conservation challenges such as protected area management, conservation actions for endangered species, sustainable livestock grazing, sustainable spatial planning of windfarms and other infrastructures, climate-biodiversity policy, and human-large carnivore conflict mitigation, to name a few\u2026 Yes, the field of action is broad and still growing, responding to emerging challenges\u2026 However, all research activities have a common basis: they align with conservation biology principles and tend to have an applied character.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
