Other Initiatives
As part of a recent
and expanding initiative concerning ‘biodiversity and business’, WildCRU
is working directly to influence policy making processes. The fact that
WildCRU, an acknowledged research unit, is developing close ties with
industry, is a sign of positive new developments in the area of conservation
biology and wildlife habitat management.
WildCRU can make
a clear case for the importance of coupling rigorous academic research
with business as an essential addition to the traditional route for
tackling key environmental conservation and development problems. There
is an unquestionable link between environmental, and especially biological,
degradation and business. There is also a great deal of interest in,
and increasing activity aimed at, understanding this link.
