A UNIQUE COMBINATION OF EXPERTISE -

Linking Science and Law for Conservation

 

OUR AIMS

	To conduct world-class research concerning the biology and conservation of Australia's native biota.
	To train research students to be highly competent researchers in this area.
	To foster inderdisciplinary research and research training, linking science with law, policy and management.
	To interact with other scientists as well as managers and policy personnel to achieve effective conservation of the Australian biota.

ICB combines expertise in three core research areas

1. Evolutionary Biology
2. Environmental Biology
3. Conservation Law and Policy

Within the two scientific themes we aim to perform world class research into the evolution, ecology and physiology of Australian biota. The research of many academics within the Institute encompasses more than one of these discipline areas, with the majority of staff seeking to link science with law and policy to achieve better conservation outcomes.
