Our impact
The CBA's activities aim to inform biodiversity conservation and restoration through innovative science, collaborative partnerships, knowledge exchange and training.
A significant outcome of CBA Project, Synthesis Group and Workshop funding are peer-reviewed publications.
An important function of the CBA is leveraging funding opportunities from our project seed funding and the collaborations enabled by our networks across the ANU, CSIRO and University of Canberra.
The CBA fosters collaboration among ANU, CSIRO and the University of Canberra through initiatives such as our Ignition Grant and Synthesis Group funding schemes.
A key aim of the CBA is to exchange knowledge, perspectives and challenges amongst scientists and policy makers, and find ways to effectively engage, now and into the future.
One of the major objectives of the CBA is to build capacity through training of postdoctoral and postgraduate researchers.
The CBA publishes annual reports highlighting our impact on biodiversity research, policy and collaboration.
