Current Projects
Mindful conservation
The Center for Biodiversity Outcomes and Earth Genome have developed a decision-support tool called the Green Infrastructure Support Tool. GIST has been designed to assist corporate decision-making about sustainable water use.
America’s living ocean
America’s Living Ocean is a multi-year initiative by the ASU Center for Biodiversity Outcomes to help translate ocean biodiversity knowledge into real-world decisions that shape the future of U.S. marine ecosystems and coastal economies.
Amazon Indigenous peoples
This project is part of an initiative titled “Language for Sustainability: Sustaining biodiversity and biocultures,” sponsored by the Global Consortium for Sustainability Outcomes.
Marine plastic pollution and biodiversity risk
The Center for Biodiversity Outcomes developed a global model that estimates the efficacy of varying marine plastic pollution intervention strategies.
Biodiversity in business and conservation return-on-investment
The Center for Biodiversity Outcomes is working with several partners to bring together biodiversity data from multiple sources and create new methods to integrate the data into corporate decision-making.
Endangered species recovery
The Center for Biodiversity Outcomes advances endangered species recovery by strengthening the link between science, decision-making, and on-the-ground action.
Data to decisions in biodiversity
The Center for Biodiversity Outcomes is partnering with the ASU Biodiversity Knowledge Integration Center to integrate big data in biodiversity decision-making.
Actionable science
Our goal through this project is to gain a better understanding of the determinants of actionable science in conservation. While there has been exponential growth in conservation research, much of this science fails to be translated into practice and policy. Numerous solutions have been proposed to bridge this knowledge-action gap, yet it persists.
