Connecting communities & scientists in discovering, understanding & conserving the natural world. Support our mission Join the discovery! Upcoming events Slide

We’re a small non-profit working to discover, understand, and conserve biological diversity.

We are partners with Great Smoky Mountains National Park in a massive effort to catalog every species living there: the All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory. We work with park staff, researchers, and volunteers to study biodiversity in the Smokies, to educate others about its importance in our lives, and ultimately to conserve the richness of life on Earth.
