Research has given us a growing appreciation of our place in the natural environment, and a better understanding of social, economic and cultural forces. While research has become increasingly collaborative and international, local research remains an essential part of the pursuit and exploitation of new knowledge which will provide us with the data needed to understand and influence change for the better, and for our future.
