Field studies aim to find sustainable habitats for our species and carry out post release monitoring for our released wildlife.
Our research contributes directly to our evidence based advocacy work with government, training of protected area staff, enforcement officers and university students in the identification and handling of, and threats to these species and to outreach work with communities surrounding protected areas.
