Our mission is to inspire people to master and apply behavioral principles in managing ecosystems.

BEHAVE is a research and outreach program aimed at understanding the principles that govern diet and habitat selection.  We are dedicated to inspiring and enabling people to understand and use knowledge of behavior, ours and other creatures, to discover sound ecological, economic, and social solutions to land management issues, and to work with others to reconcile differences of opinion about how to manage landscapes. We are headquartered at Utah State University with collaborators from across the U.S. and around the world.
