Kings Park Science is part of Biodiversity and Conservation Science within the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) and has a large multi-disciplinary team of research scientists making internationally-recognised contributions to biodiversity conservation. Research is focused in the key areas of restoration ecology, seed science, conservation genetics, conservation biotechnology, orchid conservation, and systematics, with a focus on extension to practitioners and land managers.
Our scientists also play a key role in training future conservation scientists and practitioners through higher education.
