Funded Activity Summary

Advancing Australian Leadership in Tropical Conservation Science. Tropical forests are vital for Australia. They protect coral reefs, reduce flooding and soil erosion, and help stabilise the climate by promoting life-giving rainfall and storing massive stocks of carbon that would otherwise worsen global warming. They also sustain stunning biodiversity and provide livelihoods for hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Via a dynamic environmental research and policy program, this project will promote sustainable forest use in tropical Australia, the imperilled Asia-Pacific region, and beyond. It will build world-leading research capacity, strengthen ties with Australia's neighbours, and provide Australian scientists with an array of new challenges and research opportunities.
