LINCZ Learning and Research Hub

Welcome to the LINCZ Learning and Research Hub! This dynamic platform is dedicated to sharing LINCZ project learnings, following ongoing research, and connecting with like minds as we work toward practical solutions and community-driven impact. We invite you to join us in conversation, in sharing knowledge, and in exploring solutions together.

Research Making a Difference

Dedicated researchers from Canadian Mennonite University in Canada, the National University of Science and Technology, and the Global Biodiversity Information Facility at Bindura University of Science Education in Zimbabwe will collaborate with staff from community-based partners to engage with local communities in research.

Together, we will undertake research to document challenges in communities due to climate change and efforts to adapt and build resilience.
