This year marks ten years since the Western Australian Biodiversity Science Institute (WABSI) was launched. What began as a research joint venture partnership has grown into Western Australia’s home for biodiversity research collaboration. WABSI engages government, researchers, Traditional Owners and the community to tackle WA’s biggest environmental challenges, together.

Join us for a briefing from the experts at WABSI. You will hear an overview of WABSI and its research programs, including the Shared Environmental Analytics Facility (SEAF), scaling up WA’s restoration economy, subterranean fauna collaborative research, research priorities to protect biodiversity in WA’s inland waters, and knowledge gaps in biodiversity economics and finance. WABSI will also share highlights from the past year. Afterwards, stay on to continue the conversation over drinks with WABSI’s program directors. It is a chance to ask questions and connect with the people leading this work before the evening wraps up at 6.30pm.

About WABSI

The Western Australian Biodiversity Science Institute (WABSI) launched ten years ago as a research joint venture partnership with leading Western Australian science research organisations. Today it is an independent collaboration mechanism.

WABSI works with end users across sectors to identify critical biodiversity knowledge needs. It then develops targeted, timely research programs focused on practical outcomes.

Its vision is to bring together diverse knowledge to protect and conserve Western Australia’s unique biodiversity. By coordinating research across sectors, jurisdictions and disciplines, WABSI reduces duplication and saves time and money.
