Resilient Conservation

OUR MISSION

Towards resilient conservation landscapes

At the Resilient Conservation Lab, we envision a world where humans, ecosystems, and wildlife thrive. We foster collaborations between researchers, NGOs, governments, and the private sector in order to harness the power of interdisciplinary science. Through our work, we aim to inform the development of conservation actions and policies that address the intricate challenges of the Anthropocene.

FOUNDING OF THE LAB

Resilient Conservation was founded, and is led, by Dr Duan Biggs during his time at the Centre for Planetary Health and Food Security at Griffith University in Brisbane, Australia. In August 2021, Dr Biggs was appointed as the Olajos Goslow Chair of Environmental Science and Policy at the School of Earth and Sustainability at Northern Arizona University. Resilient Conservation partners and collaborates with a wide range of practitioners, policy-makers, and researchers from around the world; including the UN Environment Program, Conservation International, the IUCN, the Luc Hoffmann Institute, WWF, and the Grand Canyon Trust, Trase, and Stockholm Environment Institute.
