nrcc's niche |
| NRCC supports researchers from all over the country and the world who are working on scientific and policy issues in the GYE. By coordinating cooperative partnerships among NGOs, state and federal agencies, and others, we foster a vibrant a communication network between associates decision makers. These partnerships, whichare often cost-sharing endeavors, enable us to put work on the ground that otherwise would note happen. NRCC operates with extremely low overhead, which means that every dollar spent has maximum impact. |

methodology |
We conduct long- and short-term ecological monitoring and research on threatened and endangered species that are key indicators of ecosystem health. Our findings are communicated to government agencies, non-governmental conservation watchdog groups, and citizens. We carry out independent and cooperative analyses of environmental management practices to help organizations improve how they plan programming, carry out, and evaluate endangered species recovery. |
|
| We
encourage improvements in decision-making
processes. By working with government
and private groups, we promote changes in how conservation and management
decisions are made, carried out, and evaluated, and we create forums
for public and expert involvement through workshops, conferences,
and publications. We encourage long-term learning. Through conferences, workshops, and the design of school curricula, we equip students, natural resource professionals, and citizens with the knowledge and skills to solve complex environmental problems. A "learning network," NRCC also offers masters and doctoral students internships and research opportunities in a wide range of natural and social science disciplines. |
