As the Western Australian Biodiversity Science Institute (WABSI) celebrates 10 years, we’re proud to release The WABSI Journey, a look at how a decade of collaboration has connected biodiversity science with real-world decision-making.
The story begins in 2015. A State Government consultation revealed duplicated research effort, fragmented information and critical knowledge gaps. WABSI was established to lead research collaboration and build a clear pathway for scientific knowledge to reach the people who need it.
The WABSI Journey traces that path through each milestone period. Starting with the release of our first end user driven research program, to more recent chapters on WABSI’s work that is helping drive the WA economy. It highlights publications which capture the results of consultation with more than 50 end user organisations and also looks ahead as WABSI builds world-leading biodiversity research capability, whilst delivering stable returns from public investment in a trusted research partnership.
Thank you to our partners, funders and end users, whose collaboration has made the last ten years possible.
