Our impact
The CBA helps drives biodiversity conservation and restoration through innovative science, collaborative partnerships 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.
Impact stories
The Australian landscape presents many areas of extreme conditions for plant survival, such as drought, heat, or salt-affected soils. Are some lineages better able to adapt and diversify in these harsh conditions?
The ANU and CSIRO have joined forces in a new collaborative precinct to help build a sustainable future for the environment, agriculture and global food
Collecting seed, growing and re-planting is fundamental to restoration projects. However, little is known of the levels of genetic adaptability present in any key species, such as Yellow box, that frequently used for broad-scale restoration.
