Operation Wallacea is a network of
academics from European and North American universities, who design
and implement biodiversity and conservation management research
programmes. Research is supported by students who join the programme,
to strengthen their CV or resume, gain course credit, or collect
data for a dissertation or thesis. Academics benefit from
funding for high quality fieldwork enabling them to publish
papers in peer reviewed journals. This model enables the
collection of large temporal and spatial datasets used for
assessing the effectiveness of conservation management
interventions.
All of the ventures
provided by Operation Wallacea meet the requirements of BS8848 (Specification
for the provision of visits, fieldwork, expeditions and adventurous activities
outside the UK). Self declared. Copies of the compliance documents for each
expedition are published on this web site.
