Princeton's conservation biology program aims to advance research that effectively identifies, addresses, and mitigates risks to biodiversity and ecosystem health. We achieve this through diverse approaches including fieldwork, computational modeling, theoretical frameworks, and comprehensive data analysis. Our interdisciplinary approach bridges natural and social sciences to create practical solutions, collaborating extensively with other university departments. Faculty, postdoctoral researchers, and graduate students frequently partner with government agencies and NGOs to address global conservation challenges. Research areas span from protecting threatened wildlife and assessing climate change impacts to studying agricultural effects on ecosystems, disease ecology, protected area management, and sustainable resource utilization like fisheries.
