About Us
 
Craighead Environmental Research Institute

For over forty years, the Craighead Environmental Research Institute has pioneered the fields of conservation and wildlife research. Our primary focus has been the conservation of biodiversity and wildlife habitat. In the last fifteen years, CERI has also been active in guiding conservation policy and management and in supporting grassroots conservation campaigns.

CERI's geographic focus is in the Yellowstone-to-Yukon and Coastal Rainforest regions of North America. CERI believes these two areas hold some of the highest conservation potential in North America and should be managed as mega-reserves for biodiversity. Because of their great resources, however, these lands are also being developed at alarming rates - which is why we have placed our priority on working in these two regions.

CERI believes that people can coexist with intact wild ecosystems. We are confident our efforts will continue to play a key role in helping resource managers and conservationists develop conservation plans that benefit all species - including people.
