This is how crowdfunding is helping to protect our planet
New research shows that crowdfunding has contributed millions of dollars to conservation projects around the world over the last few years.
Carla Archibald is a PhD student within the Rhodes Conservation Group, supervised by Associate Professor Jonathan Rhodes and Dr Morena Mills. Carla’s research sits at the frontier of forest threatening processes and forest conservation actions. Using a multi-disciplinary lens, Carla wishes to identify how conservation actions can best be targeted and tailored to increase the spread and the adoption success of forest conservation actions, such as private protected areas, in areas under a high degree of threat. Carla graduated a Bachelor of Applied Science from The University of Queensland in 2012 and received first-class honours for her project on urban restoration and bird diversity in South-east Queensland within the Possingham Lab through CEED in 2014.
