Science. Action. Impact.

Advancing Conservation Through Research, Partnership, and Innovation

The Dr. Abigail Ross Foundation for Applied Conservation (TDARFAC) is a U.S. 501(c)(3) private operating foundation dedicated to bridging the gap between conservation science and action.

We transform scientific knowledge into practical, evidence-based solutions that conserve biodiversity and improve the well-being of communities sharing these landscapes. By integrating research, field implementation, mentorship, and strategic grant-making, we help turn scientific discoveries into measurable conservation outcomes.

Our Mission

Despite decades of progress in conservation biology, many important discoveries never make it beyond academic journals. At TDARFAC, we believe research should guide real-world decisions and produce tangible benefits for wildlife, landscapes, and people.

Working alongside local communities, conservation professionals, universities, and partner organizations, we develop, support, and evaluate initiatives designed to create meaningful and lasting change.

Our Four Pillars

  1. Research & Innovation

    We support applied research that addresses urgent conservation challenges and translates scientific knowledge into practical, evidence-based solutions.

  2. Field Conservation

    We develop and implement community-based programs that integrate biodiversity conservation, public health, education, and sustainable development through a One Health approach.

  3. Capacity Building

    We mentor graduate students, researchers, and early-career conservation professionals in Madagascar, strengthening local leadership and building long-term scientific capacity.

  4. Conservation Grants

    We provide competitive annual grants to conservation practitioners working across primate-range countries, supporting innovative, locally informed, and evidence-based projects.

Our Approach

Everything we support is grounded in evidence.

Whether funding research, implementing field programs, mentoring future conservation leaders, or supporting practitioners through grants, we believe conservation interventions should be evaluated using rigorous scientific methods whenever possible.

By measuring outcomes, sharing knowledge, and continually refining our approaches, we help ensure that conservation efforts deliver meaningful and lasting results.

Our work is guided by three interconnected objectives: building scientific capacity, amplifying local voices, and strengthening community-led conservation.

  • Group of people in rain gear under a wooden shelter, smiling, outdoor setting with thatched roof.

    Building Capacity

    We draw on the collective expertise of an international consortium of scientists and specialists to advance field-based research and community-led conservation in primate-range countries.

  • Two scientists working in a laboratory, wearing masks and gloves, handling pipettes and test tubes.

    Amplifying Voices

    We create opportunities for university students and early-career scientists in primate-range countries through project development, funding, mentorship, training, and professional support (Atsalis et al., 2024).

  • Group of children gathered around a table playing card game indoors, smiling and clapping.

    Partnering with Local Communities

    We collaborate with local communities, conservation practitioners, and nonprofit organizations to develop locally informed projects that reflect community priorities and create lasting benefits for people, wildlife, and landscapes.

How do critically endangered diademed sifakas (Propithecus diadema) adapt to fragmented forests? What factors influence their movement patterns, habitat use, and foraging strategies across seasons? These are the questions driving the research of TDA
How do critically endangered diademed sifakas (Propithecus diadema) adapt to fragmented forests? What factors influence their movement patterns, habitat use, and foraging strategies across seasons? These are the questions driving the research of TDARFAC grantee Koloina Rakotoarivelo, a PhD student at the University of Antananarivo. Over the course of her project in the Tsinjoarivo-Ambalaomby Protected Area, Koloina conducted 230 days of behavioral observations across five sifaka groups, while simultaneously collecting detailed data on habitat structure, food availability, activity budgets, and ranging behavior. By comparing populations living in fragmented and continuous forests, her work is helping us better understand how environmental variability shapes the ecology and behavior of one of Madagascar’s most iconic and threatened lemurs. These findings have direct applications for habitat restoration, reforestation planning, landscape connectivity, and future conservation management strategies. Beyond the scientific contributions, the project has engaged local guides, strengthened community participation in conservation, and introduced secondary school students to biodiversity research and wildlife conservation. At TDARFAC, we believe that supporting Malagasy scientists to lead research in their own landscapes is essential for the future of conservation. Koloina’s work exemplifies the rigorous field science, local leadership, and long-term commitment needed to protect Madagascar’s extraordinary biodiversity.

Happy Mother’s Day to all primate moms — and to every kind of mothering heart. To moms raising children, caring for furry families, supporting communities, grieving loss, trying, hoping, mentoring, nurturing, and protecting others in quiet ways — today is for you too. 🤍💫 🐒 3 quick facts about primate maternal behavior: • Many primate mothers carry their infants almost constantly during early development. • Baby primates learn social skills, feeding, and survival directly from their mothers. • In some species, mothers maintain lifelong bonds with their offspring. From lemurs to humans, maternal care helps shape the future of entire communities.
