Conservation and biodiversity

The commitment to do better includes all living things. With expertise in invasive species, sustainable hunting and the economics of management, there are solutions that are financially viable and environmentally sustainable.

Invasive species

Invasive species are a major environmental and human health threat and causing significant damage on natural systems and species. As the attention on climate change grows, the spread and impact of invasive species is shifting thus requiring continued monitoring, management and research.

Managing species

Various techniques are available for invasive species management. Hear more in a two-part webinar series hosted by the Wildlife Habitat Council: an introduction to invasive species and resources & techniques for managing species.

Optimizing detection

Detection under uncertainty drives how well we address invasive species. With experts from the US Forest Service and the University of Minnesota, read more about detection under uncertainty and how to optimize budgets across management tools.

Finding balance

Invasive species pose not only an environmental threat, but a financial threat. With the right use of models, we can prepare for and anticipate invasive species spread and avoid damages associated with uncontrolled movement. Understanding the economic impacts of invasive species can inform management decisions and insights.

Sustainable Hunting

Sustainable hunting can sound like an oxymoron, but it is actually one of our greatest tools in conserving land. It is crucial to support sustainable systems for all living things and focus on balance over a “one-size-fits-all” approach.

Hunting and conservation

Through experience with organizations like Pheasants Forever, Dr. Mehta understands the importance of caring for the land and the intersection of hunting and conservation, and advocates for solutions that balance environmental sustainability with financial strength.

Conserving keystone species

Conservation of keystone species and biodiversity is one of the greatest challenges we face. As always, there is a need to balance conservation with the industry’s profitability. Read about how lions and profits may be able to co-exist in Tanzania.
