PAN Works Earns Two Notable Research Grants
Promoting ethics and wellbeing in conservation
Fellows atPAN Works, Liv Baker and Adam Cardilini, have been awarded two notable grants for important research projects. These grants will support crucial work in animal wellbeing and conservation practices.
Systemic Animal Use in Conservation Practice
Funded by: Animal Welfare Institute
Liv and Adam will be leading a significant project that aims to uncover and analyze systemic animal use in conservation research. This innovative study will leverage advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques to process vast amounts of scientific literature. The goal is to develop new methodologies for assessing and understanding animal use across various research domains, potentially transforming how we approach animal wellbeing in conservation efforts.
A Critical Scrutiny of Monitoring Furbearing Animals
Funded by: The Furbearers
In this project, our researchers will conduct a comprehensive study on the impacts of GPS collars and similar monitoring devices on canids and other fur-bearing animals. The study will assess common practices, examining both short-term and long-term effects of these monitoring methods. This research has the potential to significantly influence and improve ethical practices in wild animal monitoring and research.
Both of these projects reflect our organization’s commitment to advancing animal wellbeing and promoting more ethical approaches to conservation and research practices. Kudos to Liv and Adam for securing these grants and we all look forward to the valuable insights their work will provide.
