The goals of the Hub are to:

• Build upon existing research activities and promote linkages both within cognate areas of ANU and among a growing body of external collaborators, and use this enhanced network to lever more research and teaching activities and resources;

• Facilitate the transfer and application of scientific research and development outcomes to the community of conservation stakeholders;

• Undertake objective research to inform WildCountry program and development needs; and

• Develop research and tools that promote the WildCountry approach to conservation amongst a variety of stakeholders and collaborators.
