ATREE's programmes integrate applied research, policy interventions and social action, the three pillars of our efforts to bring about change. Our researchers work across the social and natural sciences to generate socially relevant, interdisciplinary knowledge in conservation science and sustainability studies. We then communicate this knowledge through a variety of media to influence policy both with decision makers as well as civil society. Finally, we work with local communities in many geographies to implement projects that benefit both livelihoods and the environment.
