Recent Work
The Center for Conservation Biology (CCB) reflects UCR's outstanding interdepartmental cooperation among the basic sciences from which conservation biology springs: ecology, evolution, systematics and behavior. Many UCR scientists currently address conservation issues with their research, emphasizing genetic and species biodiversity, management and restoration of biodiversity, endangered species and the impact and control of invasive exotics. Major research foci include plants, vertebrates, invertebrates, soil organisms and the impact of humans on natural communities. The CCB's interests lie in playing the role of the "honest broker" by providing scientific research, data, models and information for developing theory and experiments and translating that information to policy makers and citizens.
