About
RESEARCH AND PUBLICATIONS - PERCS ACADEMIC RESEARCH IS AT THE FOREFRONT OF ALL OUR EFFORTS TO IMPROVE ENVIRONMENTAL OUTCOMES. WE TREAT RESEARCH AS THE FIRST STAGE IN A MULTI-STAGE PROCESS TO DEVELOP EFFECTIVE CONSERVATION POLICIES AND STRENGTHEN CONSERVATION PRACTICES. AS A RESULT, OUR SOLUTIONS AND INITIATIVES ARE BASED UPON RIGOROUS RESEARCH FROM A DIVERSE GROUP OF SCHOLARS AND PRACTITIONERS. CORE RESEARCH AREAS INCLUDE ISSUES RELATED TO LAND USE, WATER, AND WILDLIFE. SPECIFIC FOCUS AREAS INCLUDE LOCAL CONSERVATION EFFORTS, PUBLIC LANDS FUNDING, PRIVATE CONSERVATION, WILDLIFE MIGRATION, AND GLOBAL CONSERVATION ISSUES. A MAJOR SOURCE OF BOTH OUTREACH AND RESEARCH COMES IN THE FORM OF PERCS MULTI-DAY RESEARCH AND IDEA DEVELOPMENT CONFERENCES. THE SOLUTIONS AND PUBLICATIONS THESE CONFERENCES GENERATED (OR WILL GENERATE) INFUSE INTO BOTH THE ACADEMIC DEBATE ON CONSERVATION AND POLICY AND PRACTICAL CONSERVATION OUTCOMES. PERCS IN-HOUSE RESEARCH INITIATIVES ARE AUGMENTED BY VISITING SCHOLARS FROM UNIVERSITIES AND CONSERVATION ORGANIZATIONS AROUND THE WORLD. IN 2019, WE HOSTED 37 FELLOWS WORKING ON TIMELY CONSERVATION RESEARCH. DETAILS ABOUT OUR FELLOWSHIPS CAN BE FOUND ON OUR WEBSITE, WWW.PERC.ORG.
