Our Research Impact

We have a strong track record of translating our research into real world solutions, and have worked hard to develop strong and enduring relationships with a broad range of stakeholders nationally and internationally.

Our work has benefitted a range of conservation bodies, animal welfare industry and charities, global health bodies and government policymakers and a broad range of commercial industries. These have come about through our direct engagement with our stakeholders, through work in advisory roles, or partnering in both research and teaching to develop solutions that address conservation, ecosystem and population health issues.
