The Hidden Vale Wildlife Project conducts research into a number of areas stemming from the overarching Project goal which is:
"To develop innovative and globally significant solutions for wildlife management and conservation, using the Hidden Vale Wildlife Centre and surrounding ecosystems as a model."
Research is broadly grouped into two streams:
1) Captive research streams - using the Hidden Vale Wildlife Centre
Next-generation husbandry and captive management
Technological advances in conservation
Wildlife pre-release strategies
2) Ecology / ecosystem research streams - using the Hidden Vale Property and other Turner Family Foundation properties
Pest and threat management
Habitat condition and restoration
Sustainable land uses (e.g. agriculture and ecotourism)
Ecosystem and trophic dynamics
