BUILDING CLIMATE RESILIENCE
for people and nature.
There is no more significant and enduring impact for life on this planet than to protect biodiversity in the face of climate change.
At Biota Conservation our team enables the survival of life by establishing landscape-level solutions in the most biodiverse habitats on Earth.
WE ARE DISCOVERING NEW SPECIES & CREATING CLIMATE CORRIDORS TO SAVE AS MUCH BIODIVERSITY AS POSSIBLE.
Biota is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
Our Solutions
To adapt and survive rapidly warming climates, biodiversity needs to move upslope to cooler climate refugia. Habitat connectivity from low-elevation habitat to mountain tops is key to this.
By creating climate corridors, we connect landscapes along elevational gradients to facilitate mass biodiversity migration.
This is the most cost-effective solution to build climate resilience for people and nature at scale.
Biota “is building a model that should be replicated widely … throughout the biodiverse tropical regions of the world.”
– Andrea Meza Murillo, Costa Rica Minister of Environment 2020
IT IS NOT TOO LATE
Biota is promoting a solution-driven model. By taking action we can:
1 ) Identify and understand biodiversity in remote, understudied landscapes
2 ) Enhance long-term habitat integrity at scale
3 ) Build climate change resilience for people and nature.
The Pillars of our Model
To implement solutions at scale, we:
Discover new species
Build Climate Corridors
Detect and Protect Wildlife
Grow the Community of Field Biologists
Meet the Biota Team
We are conservationists, scientists, educators, and leaders working to protect biodiversity and build resilient landscapes.
