IOWR - Welcome to the Institute Of Wildlife Research

Six and a half billion people now share the planet, nearly 21 million of them in Australia, and the rate at which we are using resources puts constant pressure on an overstretched environment. As species, habitats, and natural systems are placed under increasing stress, there is an urgent need for effective research to identify major threats and propose solutions. We are a consortium of concerned scientists, mostly from the Sydney region, with a diversity of backgrounds and skills, from the plant and animal sciences. We run conservation and research projects in a wide variety of locations both within Australia and overseas. We also have a large number of postgraduate students, who further strengthen our research program.
