Improving Knowledge Exchange for international biodiversity policy
The Conservation And Sustainability Consortium of AcaDEmic institutions (CASCADE) brings together higher education institutions from across the UK working on finding sustainable and socially just solutions to one of the biggest challenges facing humanity: the biodiversity crisis.
We believe that only through sharing resources and knowledge and acting in partnership with other research institutions across the world, government agencies, NGOs and industry, will we be able to work towards addressing this challenge.
Our mission
We will achieve our vision through a network of UK and international partner institutions carrying out innovative inter- and transdisciplinary research and education on conservation policy and practice, allowing us to discover, devise and disseminate the actions required for transformational change in biodiversity conservation whilst helping train and support the next generation of conservation scientists.
Our vision
To use the UK’s unique expertise in people-orientated conservation science to support the development of principles, policies and practices that meet CBD goals in the UK and partner countries in an equitable, socially-just and inclusive way.To use the UK’s unique expertise in people-orientated conservation science to support the development of principles, policies and practices that meet CBD goals in the UK and partner countries in an equitable, socially-just and inclusive way.
