Special effort is made to promote collaboration among scientists within a developing country.
To supplement its core training program, GBDI has developed in conjunction with several international and local institutions, several courses to help complete GBDI's holistic approach to biodiversity issues in developing countries. All of the course are intensive in nature and are residential. All attempts are made to conduct most training within the regional area of developing countries, but some courses are conducted at GBDI's collaborating partner institutions outside the developing country's region This approach allows GBDI to reduce cost normally associated with such activities. All GBDI courses are designed in collaboration with local institutions to ensure that it meets the needs of the individual developing country. Restoration and Conservation.
