The UTS Centre for Compassionate Conservation (CfCC) is dedicated to transforming conservation actions by reimagining the relationship between humanity and the natural world.

Our goal is to bring compassion for individuals into conservation decision-making and to shift conservation practices from a species-centric approach to one that values individual lives and their intrinsic worth and rights.

Our experts work across the world to deliver evidence-based and compassion-led solutions to pressing conservation challenges.

Whether you’re a researcher, policymaker, educator, or concerned member of the community, we would love to hear from you. If you have any questions about our research, please contact us at compassionateconservation@uts.edu.au.

Our centre strives to bring together the theoretical and philosophical underpinnings of inclusion, with practical and scientific approaches for solving complex real-world problems.

Collaboration is at the core of what we do and how we do it. It's through partnerships that we will quickly develop the pathway to improve the treatment of wild animals.
