Academy scientists keep the passport office busy. From the depths of the ocean’s twilight zone to the towering rainforest canopy, our experts journey to the world’s most endangered ecosystems to better understand how to protect them.
If it blooms, swims, or flies, it’s probably an Academy scientist’s obsession. Get to know the people putting their curiosity to work for the health of our planet.
Madagascar. The Philippines. Palau. Cameroon. The Academy goes where biodiversity thrives—or is threatened. Hopscotch the globe with us and experience the adventurous side of science.
Conservation can’t happen without collaboration. See where Academy scientists are applying their research to real-world challenges while empowering—and learning from—the communities where they work.
In October 2017, a team from the Academy traveled to Southeast Asia for a marathon bioblitz of Penang’s biodiversity—with an eye toward earning the island a nomination as a UNESCO biosphere reserve.
