The primary purpose is to conduct a long term research program on biodiversity and ecosystem dynamics in the Serengeti ecosystem, East Africa. We use Protected Areas as Ecological Baselines to compare with human-dominated ecosystems outside. The Serengeti provides a unique opportunity to understand (1) how a natural ecosystem works, (2) what role biodiversity plays in this system, and (3) what human influences are threatening this biodiversity.

主要目的是对东非塞伦盖蒂生态系统的生物多样性和生态系统动力学进行长期研究计划。我们以保护区为生态基线，与外部以人类为主的生态系统进行比较。塞伦盖蒂提供了一个独特的机会来了解(1)自然生态系统是如何运作的，(2)生物多样性在这个系统中扮演着什么角色，以及(3)人类的影响正在威胁着这种生物多样性。
