The Conservation Science research group at the University of Melbourne

Our research focusses on solving problems in biodiversity conservation and ecosystem management. We have broad research interests, including measuring change in biodiversity, predicting the impacts of change, and making conservation decisions. Much of our work is at the ecosystem level, including the IUCN Red List of Ecosystems. Headed by Emily Nicholson, we are based in the School of Agriculture, Food and Ecosystem Sciences at the University of Melbourne, and part of the Melbourne Biodiversity Institute and Quantitative and Applied Ecology Group (qaeco)
