Biodiversity and ecosystem services management We want the knowledge generated by our applied research to be useful for society At CREAF we carry out studies on ecosystem function and the roles of species, populations, and communities of organisms in defining environmental constraints. These studies are vital for managing and conserving biodiversity.Our services are addressed to professional experts in management of protected areas and biological resources, to environmental departments of large companies, or researchers at institutions with activities that are academic, ecological, biological or environmental in nature.Over the past few years, various emblematic projects have demonstrated the experience and quality of the services offered by CREAF in this field.
