We conduct, support, and coordinate research on the attributes and benefits of wilderness and on the threats to these attributes and benefits. Research activities include in-house studies as well as cooperative and contract projects with scientists from other agencies and universities across the United States. Below is a list of research partners who have either conducted or sponsored wilderness research through the Leopold Institute.
