CONSERVATION LAW & POLICY

Within the Conservation Law and Policy research area we aim to apply the results of our core biological research to better inform the decisions of policy makers both within Australia and overseas.

This is achieved through direct involvement of our biological researchers on policy bodies and also through our collaborations with academics in Law to inform future policy.
