Protecting Biodiversity through Science
Humanity faces two big challenges – Climate Change and the Biodiversity Crisis.
Climate Change will make life harder for many people and reduce how many people the Earth can support. But losing biodiversity is even more serious. Without it, we risk losing clean water, food, medicine, and even the air we breathe. We also lose our connection to nature and to our ancestors’ way of life.
The Centre for Conservation Science brings together people like conservation biologists, social scientists, health workers, artists, and communication experts. By working together, they create conservation solutions that can help protect nature here and around the world—so future generations can enjoy the same natural wonders we do today.
