Increasing human-driven impacts on nature causes planetary change and extensive biodiversity loss. Unchecked encroachment into wilderness and unsustainable use of biodiversity create new opportunities for disease emergence. Dr. Cáceres-Escobar combines his veterinary and conservation expertise to manage disease risk.

Fisheries are one of the most poorly monitored extractive industries on Earth. Dr. Roberson combines statistical methods with new technologies to improve fisheries sustainability. To reduce impacts on vulnerable species like sea turtles, sharks, and marine mammals, she works closely with fishers in an array of contexts, including traditional canoes in West Africa, shark fisheries in Pakistan and some of the world’s most lucrative tuna fleets. Dr. Roberson recently discovered that more than 90 endangered species are caught in industrial fisheries.

Nature suffers when conservation research is underfunded. Atlas Conservation Initiative supports critical research that keeps our lands and oceans healthy.” - Professor Hugh Possingham Chief Scientist of the Queensland Government, Australia Professor of Mathematics and Professor of Ecology at the University of Queensland https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615ce523cf3ae863486c499d/1633497318922-TR8ATEHNAEFXO8WPCUVU/mike-doherty-JRsl_wfC-9A-unsplash.jpg Home - Good science is the foundation of effective conservation. The UN estimates that we invest just 15% of what’s needed to preserve healthy ecosystems. Atlas Conservation Initiative is working to ensure that the science our biodiversity depends on gets done. We raise funds to issue grants to universities who will administer these funds to leading scientists for research that will improve biodiversity outcomes. Maximizing the impact of your contribution is our commitment. We select our grantees through a rigorous evaluation process. Demonstrating clear biodiversity impact is a key selection criteria. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615ce523cf3ae863486c499d/1633495416978-D7F9OJVE4I2JZ4P2C2MX/IMG_8229.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615ce523cf3ae863486c499d/1634342504623-LZIKOCW9YIBHP0OL1O1Z/joecull2.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615ce523cf3ae863486c499d/1634401287514-5M48UHCC1W5OVOQC4DMU/MW+-+profile+-+face.jpeg Home https://www.atlasconservation.org/chi daily 0.75 2022-03-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615ce523cf3ae863486c499d/80146aff-dd5b-46b9-b41a-bdf16463b042/unsplash-image-J124k3zc2mc.jpg 主頁 - 防止疫症大流行必須保護野生動物 Hernán Cáceres-Escobar 博士 (PhD)、獸醫 (DVM) Hernán Cáceres-Escobar 博士是羅馬大學的科學家，也是國際野生物貿易研究組織 (TRAFFIC) 和 國際自然保護聯盟 (IUCN) 等國際組織的顧問。 人類不斷損害大自然，令生物多樣性喪失、造成生態危機。無節制地開發荒郊野外和濫用生物資源增加了人畜共患疾病傳染給人類的風險。 Hernán Cáceres-Escobar 博士將獸醫和保育專業知識結合來管理疾病風險。 點擊這裡閱讀他在《柳葉刀 星球健康 Lancet Planetary Health》刊登的最新研究。該研究是關於如何將食品安全系統擴展到野生動物貿易。 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615ce523cf3ae863486c499d/1634705228622-WE409D1QPW4589B340A7/unsplash-image-iRgbLpf50IE.jpg 主頁 - 可持續漁業及海洋保育 Leslie Roberson 博士 (PhD) Leslie Roberson 博士是一位海洋保育專家，現職昆士蘭大學的博士後研究員和澳洲聯邦科學與工業研究組織 (CSIRO) 的訪問學者。 捕漁業是地球上監管最差的採掘業之一。Leslie Roberson 博士將統計方法與新技術互相結合來提高捕漁業的可持續性。為了減少對海龜、鯊魚和海洋哺乳動物等易危物種的持續減少，她疲於奔跑各地與漁民密切合作，包括西非使用傳統獨木舟的漁民、巴基斯坦鯊魚漁業的不同單位和世界上最大型的金槍魚漁船隊。 Leslie Roberson 博士最近發現，目前有 90 多種瀕臨滅絕的海洋生物被商業漁業捕撈。點擊這裡閱讀她在《自然 通訊 Nature Communications》刊登的文章。 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615ce523cf3ae863486c499d/1633479977434-5RKRRF48RC4AGSAVY5MQ/unsplash-image-eqXiLNfZDc0.jpg 主頁 - 「有效的保育項目須建基於科學知識上。保育研究資金不足時，大自然受損就會難以避免。Atlas Conservation Initiative 促進關鍵研究，保護陸地及海洋生態健康。」 - Hugh Possingham 教授 澳洲昆士蘭州政府首席科學家 昆士蘭大學數學及生態學教授 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615ce523cf3ae863486c499d/1633497318922-TR8ATEHNAEFXO8WPCUVU/mike-doherty-JRsl_wfC-9A-unsplash.jpg 主頁 - 具成效的保育項目須建基於科學證據上。 據聯合國統計，全球只投資了保育大自然所需資金的15%。 Atlas Conservation Initiative 致力促進科學家能進行生態所需的科研 我們籌集的資金會經大學頒發研究撥款給優秀科學家改善大自然。 我們承諾會將您的善款用於恰當環節。受頒贈的科學家必須通過我們嚴格評選。最關鍵的評選標準是研究項目能清楚顯示對大自然生態具改善效益。 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615ce523cf3ae863486c499d/1634342504623-LZIKOCW9YIBHP0OL1O1Z/joecull2.jpg 主頁 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615ce523cf3ae863486c499d/1633495416978-D7F9OJVE4I2JZ4P2C2MX/IMG_8229.png 主頁 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615ce523cf3ae863486c499d/1634401287514-5M48UHCC1W5OVOQC4DMU/MW+-+profile+-+face.jpeg 主頁
