The CLAWS lab is engaged in a number of long term ecological research projects and several shorter term projects that typically focus on an individual species or suite of species. Virtually all projects are pursued in conjunction with an Asian partner institution—often a government agency or university. Most projects seek to answer specific ecological and conservation questions as well as facilitate capacity-building and information sharing among partners.
