CSIRO, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, is Australia's national science agency. Our scientists work with governments, communities, industries, land managers and Indigenous Australians to assist in understanding complex issues and decision-making about natural resource management. CSIRO's Social and Economic Sciences research program aims to deliver social, behavioural, economic and institutional research that informs natural resource management policy and the design of sustainable solutions to environmental problems. Our focus is on developing tools and techniques to underpin good governance, more effective investment, and better biodiversity and ecosystems outcomes by:
- planning, management and investment tools for policy makers;
- biodiversity indicators for national and regional scale reporting;
- biodiversity futures scenarios to inform biodiversity management and planning at national and regional scales;
- working with indigenous communities to better protect their and Australia's biodiversity assets; and methods to establish mainstream markets for biodiversity goods and services
