Center for Integrative Conservation Research
Advancing Conservation in a Social Context Current Projects and Collaborations Resources
The Center for Integrative Conservation Research (CICR) was established in January 2007 with the support of a grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.  The center’s goal is to respond, through research and training, to one of the key challenges facing conservation today: identifying conservation practices and policies that simultaneously preserve biodiversity and serve human needs.  CICR promotes the synthesis of social and biological science research methods and conceptual approaches in conservation through an integrative approach to conservation research.
