University of Stirling scientist, Dr Nils Bunnefeld, is tackling one of the biggest environmental problems facing government agencies and communities across the globe -how humans and wildlife can co-exist successfully. ConFooBio, a five year £1.1 million international study -- funded by a European Research Council Starting Grant -- aims to solve the conflict between the parties promoting biodiversity conservation and ensuring food security. Spanning seven locations across the Arctic, UK, Europe and Africa the study will produce a new model to both predict and resolve these conflicts.
