Large-scale Research for Big Conservation Issues
|
The ACME Lab - Applied Conservation Macro Ecology - researches large-scale ecological questions to help solve some of the 21st century's big conservation challenges.
To conserve biodiversity, we need to know how wildlife species respond to rapid landscape and climate change. That's where conservation macroecology comes in. We research how these large-scale human-caused changes affect wildlife species' behaviour, populations, communities, and survival. We partner with governments, industry, NGOs, and First Nations, across Canada and beyond to help adapt research conclusions into good decisions to conserve biodiversity. |
ACME sits in the University of Victoria's
School of Environmental Studies, and we partner with researchers around the world. |
