Conservation biology research undertaken by the Conservation Biology Research Group at the University of Malta has the support of BICREF ngo volunteers.

Various dedicated BICREF members and interns that come from various part of the world come over to work in conservation of Maltese biodiversity.  With so many conservation challenges faced by these small densely populated islands, dedicated field and lab work is always useful to assist scientific efforts for effective outcomes.

This is facilitated by the lead CBRG-UM scientist, Adriana Vella, PhD (Cambridge) who also founded the BICREF ngo to encourage more people to get involved in conservation work.
