Organization description:
The Biodiversity Group protects the species and habitats that other organizations neglect — the conservation underdogs and what we term Life Overlooked. For over two decades, our programs have been improving species equality by delivering insights and discoveries that have led to life-saving protections for some of the most overlooked wildlife on our planet. Harnessing the lessons and resources from this long track record of success, we have scaled our efforts to help other nonprofits — efforts that are now making waves in the conservation space.
