We live in an incredibly diverse world, with millions of species and an astounding array of cultural diversity. But we also live in times of unprecedented change. Human actions have caused profound environmental and social crises. The causes of these crises are interlinked, and the solutions must be too. Our group synthesizes theory and methods bridging a range of disciplines to improve our understanding of the factors shaping patterns of diversity. We identify the threats that drive the loss of diversity. And we devise innovative approaches for environmental conservation and sustainable development.
