Amazon Biodiversity Center

The Amazon Biodiversity Center works to advance conservation and sustainable use of the Amazon and its biodiversity. We do this through:

• collaborative scientific research;
• building the next generation of leaders; and
• building awareness among the general public.

The Amazon Biodiversity Center was founded in 2018 to support work that has been on going for decades:

• the Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragments Project (BDFFP), a world-renowned landscape ecology research station in the Brazilian Amazon rainforest; and
• the efforts of conservation luminary Dr. Thomas Lovejoy to educate policy makers and inform the creation of sound policy development to conserve biological diversity in the Amazon rainforest and worldwide.
