ABOUT US
PEOPLE • PLACES • PLANET
Oppenheimer Generations Research and Conservation (OGRC) catalyses targeted research and harnesses dialogue between research and practice to create impact in African landscapes. Our work supports human wellbeing, protects important landscapes and develops better human-nature relationships for the benefit of the African continent.
Our Approach
Questions lead to conversation and stimulate new knowledge for evidence-based decision making for real-world impact.
By asking the important questions about the environment and sustainability and unlocking opportunities for them to be answered, we foster locally relevant and inclusive solutions for sustainable and resilient African communities and ecosystems.
We do this through partnerships for cutting-edge engaged research and open conversation, empowering the next generation of African researchers, implementing innovative land stewardship models and identifying best practice for co-creating a sustainable future for people, places and planet.
