- CSIRO's Climate Adaptation Flagship research is developing and delivering adaptation options to protect from the impacts of climate change Australia's marine and terrestrial species, ecosystems and the services they provide.

The Atlas of Living Australia
The Atlas of Living Australia

- CSIRO is the lead partner in the Atlas of Living Australia which is a collaborative, national project focused on making biodiversity information more accessible and useable.

Sustainable management of our ecosystems and the rich life within them remains one of the key natural resource management challenges.

CSIRO is finding ways to preserve and restore biodiversity and looking to create a balance between human development and conservation. We are also researching the ways in which species interact to maintain healthy ecosystems.
 
Understanding, conserving and providing information for the management of the ecological processes is a key goal for CSIRO’s researchers.
