Evidence-based conservation.
Research & publications
The science behind every shoreline we save.
Sound conservation is built on sound research. We don't pretend to publish all of it ourselves — but we do read it, share it, and act on it. Below is a working bibliography of the institutions, agencies, and journals that anchor our decisions and partnerships.
Academic research
Where the literature lives.
Two open doors into the world's peer-reviewed scholarship on biodiversity, habitat, and species recovery.
Research institutions & think tanks
Field stations and global programs.
The organizations doing original, long-horizon work on wildlife behavior, ecosystem health, and policy.
Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute
SCBI runs wildlife research in 25+ countries — animal behavior, health, ecology, genetics, migration, and sustainability science.
Wildlife Conservation Society
Long-term ecosystem and wildlife studies that inform government policy and ground-level management decisions worldwide.
Government publications
Federal data, freely shared.
Authoritative reports on endangered species, habitats, marine systems, and the climate signals shaping them.
U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
Endangered species assessments, habitat conservation plans, and recovery reports from the agency that administers the ESA.
National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration
Marine life conservation, fisheries science, and climate data — from coastal estuaries to the deep ocean.
Scientific journals
Where the field publishes.
The peer-reviewed venues where conservation science is debated, refined, and recorded.
Stand with the science
Good data is the cheapest acre we'll ever protect.
