WHERE THE DATA COMES FROM
ABOUT OPERATION WALLACEA
Operation Wallacea (Opwall) began working within the Wallacea region of Indonesia in 1995. Initially funded to run a rapid assessment of this poorly-explored area, we soon discovered that the need for long term monitoring data in many ecosystems was critical.
More than 30 years on, we now run biodiversity research expeditions all over the world, sourcing data that has underpinned hundreds of research papers and informed high-level environmental policy decisions in the sites we work in. We also offer biodiversity and conservation field training courses in the UK as well as online training courses using data collected on our expeditions.
