Many of the most pressing challenges and opportunities for conservation are not found in the United States but rather in Central and South America, Africa, and Asia. Virginia Tech has a commitment and an extensive track record of working around the world. We focus on providing training and expertise to governments and nongovernmental organizations particularly in the areas of fisheries development, nontimber forest products, information management, ecological monitoring and evaluation, natural resources management, and planning.
