The Spatial Ecology & Landuse Unit (SELU) is part of the School of Biological & Molecular Sciences at Oxford Brookes University. We aim to improve decision-making by developing sustainable solutions to problems in nature conservation, landscape ecology, natural resource management and biodiversity informatics. Many of our projects involve the development of spatial solutions and we have a strong focus on Geographical Information Systems (GIS).

SELU comprise an experienced team of policy advisors, landscape ecologists, application builders, cartographers and GIS experts offering a range of services from complete solutions to advice on project inception. Our research background and range of expertise ensures that we are consistently at the cutting edge of nature conservation policy and direction.

SELU has been in existence for ten years and has undertaken both research and consultancy projects. Currently the Darwin Initiative, NERC/ESRC and the Ordnance Survey fund our research and we have undertaken work for the European Union, English Nature, Heritage Lottery Fund, the Leverhulme Trust, the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, UK Wildlife Trusts and various UK Local Authorities. SELU has attracted more than £600,000 in funding since its inception.
