Research Questions
We identify knowledge and data gaps in the conservation sector and implement or advise on projects to address these gaps. To this end, we also maintain a comprehensive list of priority research questions for prospective students.
Biodiversity data
The EWT works widely with partners in collecting, collating, managing and sharing many biodiversity datasets. The EWT is an Associate Participant Node of the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF).
Data-sharing allows researchers and conservation practitioners to expedite the conversion of primary research results into knowledge, products, and procedures to improve conservation initiatives. It is the view of the EWT that environmental data should be made as widely and freely available as possible while safeguarding confidentiality and proprietary rights.
