About the School of Conservation Sciences at BU

Our research within the Centre for Conservation Ecology & Environmental Change comprises of Conservation Biogeography and combines Conservation Ecology with Geoinformatics. We focus on understanding environmental change by gauging its impact on biodiversity and the provision of ecosystem services on which human livelihoods depend. Geoinformatics plays a crucial role by providing the data sets needed to explore spatial and temporal changes in the environment, and by generating the outputs needed to inform policy and practice. Our research includes policy-relevant topics such as conservation management and habitat restoration, protected area conservation, sustainable resource use and environmental risk assessment.

Facilities & Resources

The courses are fully supported by a wide range of technical and scientific facilities. These include dedicated research and high specification analytical laboratories, survey and geophysical equipment, GIS and spatial information suite, a cartographic studio, map library and a dedicated postgraduate student computer laboratory.
