Conservation Solutions Hub
at Carleton University
Co-creating science that drives conservation action
We are a collaborative team of researchers with diverse expertise in conservation science. Good science takes teamwork, so we work together with policymakers, practitioners, and communities to understand socio-ecological systems and empower solutions.
What we do
-
Measuring outcomes
We use field science, evidence synthesis, and modelling to understand the benefits and effects of conservation measures
-
Mobilizing for Conservation
We develop proof of concept approaches to drive solutions forward
-
Cultivating community
We connect researchers and practitioners to develop strategies for conservation to benefit people and nature
We Advance effective, inclusive, and equitable conservation practice.
Rooted in collaboration, the Conservation Solutions Hub is a connection point for Carleton University conservation scientists to partner with government, non-profit organizations, and others to co-develop evidence and science advice for decision-making. We advance innovative, interdisciplinary research and training that strengthens inclusive and effective conservation practice.
We foster new collaborative relationships, drive innovative research, and develop boundary-spanning tools to identify and prioritize conservation-related knowledge needs more effectively. Guided by principles of collaboration and collegiality, our work is broadly interdisciplinary and grounded in a commitment to diversity, equity, decolonization, and inclusion.
