Our Research

WildCRU projects strive to foster all four elements of our Conservation Quartet: research to understand the problem, education to explain it, community involvement to ensure participation and acceptance, and implementation of a solution. Our approach is inter-disciplinary, linking to public health, community development and animal welfare.

The WildCRU's studies in behavioural ecology and mammalian social systems are important in keeping us in tune with the most up-to-date biological ideas, and providing a foundation for our more applied studies.

Volunteers from a local drug rehabilitation centre are trained to participate in a woodland mammal survey.
