p.000001: ‘Due to the St Helena commercial air service, it is now possible to host academic conferences more
p.000001: conveniently, enhance global academic links and invite researchers, archaeologists and conservationists to work in

p.000001: significant amount of environmental expertise already existing on island between the St Helena National Trust, St
p.000001: Helena Government’s Environment Management Division, St Helena’s Landscape & Ecology Mitigation Programme,
p.000001: and the voluntary and charitable sector. The existing network of environmentalists, and abundance of
p.000001: endemics are factors which could encourage the introduction of a research centre. Since bones belonging to slaves were
p.000001: uncovered at Rupert’s Valley, there have been further exploration of the history of slaves journeying the Middle
p.000001: Passage. There is the potential to invite researchers to St Helena to study these topics further.’
p.000001:
p.000001: The St Helena Government (SHG) supports the development of local research capacity as well as
p.000001: partnerships with international researchers and research institutions. Research in St Helena is,
p.000001: however, guided by the Environmental Protection Ordinance as well as the St Helena Research Policy.
p.000001: While research focused on development and on better understanding and protecting the environment and heritage of St
p.000001: Helena is given priority, more academic and theoretical research is also encouraged wherever possible.
p.000001:
p.000001: Generally speaking, St Helena encourages high-quality and reputable research. However, the island has a
p.000001: small population and limited resources and the SHG is cognizant of the risks posed by unregulated research.
