Projects

Our current projects reflect the Sustainability & Wellbeing (SW) team’s commitment to advancing the climate & ecological transition through applied, collaborative research. We work closely with international partners, NGOs, governments, and local communities to protect biodiversity, strengthen ecosystems, and promote sustainable land-use practices.

These projects combine scientific research with policy engagement and on-the-ground action. By integrating ecological knowledge with social justice perspectives, we contribute to protecting vulnerable species, supporting sustainable agriculture, and strengthening resilience across regions and flyways.
