| Abstract: | Studying the immense variety of life on the planet and the complex relations among living things—what we now call biodiversity—has been a fundamental activity of the American Museum of Natural History since its founding. In 1993, responding to concern among its scientists over rapid species loss and increasing habitat degradation around the world, the Museum created the interdisciplinary Center for Biodiversity and Conservation. The Center’s mission is to mitigate critical threats to global biological and cultural diversity by advancing scientific research in diverse ecosystems, by strengthening the application of science to conservation practice and public policy, by developing professional, institutional, and community capacity, and by furthering the Museum's efforts to heighten public understanding and stewardship of biodiversity.
