Cave Biodiversity Research Program
Caves in the Philippines and the biodiversity they nurture and protect are still undocumented and yet to be fully known. We are leading the way to understand cave biodiversity in key sites so that they will be better used and protected.
Small Islands Biodiversity Research Program
Our more than 7,000 islands and islets are home to diverse communities of species yet to be studied. We are initiating studies which will help island communities appreciate their natural resources.
Integrated Biodiversity Exhibits
Promoting and educating the public on the Philippines' rich flora and fauna is one of our key goals. We are continually building on our collections and presenting them through our dioramas and exhibit displays.
