The Institute for Environmental Diplomacy and Security has received a grant from The Tiffany & Co. Foundation to consider ways of linking environmental conservation to sustainable livelihoods in island economies using pearl farming. The $200,000 grant given to IEDS over 2 years will support doctoral student Julie Nash and her field work alongside IEDS fellow Laurent Cartier (who is currently based at the University of Basel, Switzerland).
