Where We Work

Amazon Basin Program

Landscape ecology across connected forests and watersheds.

Our Amazon Basin work examines habitat corridors, threatened plant communities and the cumulative impact of changing land use.

More than a satellite image

Satellite monitoring can reveal large-scale change but rarely explains cause by itself. Field observations, land-tenure history, scientific collections and local accounts complete the picture.

Wrenfield-supported work emphasizes independently repeatable measurement and clear boundaries between evidence and interpretation.

A human landscape

Forest protection engages indigenous communities, private landholders, environmental authorities and scientific institutions. Research partnerships should account for each group's rights and knowledge.

Where environmental data could expose sensitive communities or threatened species, publication uses appropriate aggregation.

Monitoring across time

Permanent sampling sites and repeated surveys help distinguish expected seasonal variation from lasting ecosystem change.
