Biodiversity Alliance
Cleveland Botanical Garden | Cleveland Museum of Natural History | Cleveland Metroparks Zoo | The Holden Arboretum | Cleveland Zoological Society
One of the greatest challenges facing the world today is finding an appropriate balance between the conservation of biodiversity and meeting the needs of a growing human population.
Biodiversity Alliance recognizes that ex situ conservation centers — botanical gardens, arboreta, natural history museums, and zoological parks — are uniquely positioned to conduct research necessary to conserve biodiversity and to educate a large audience about their role in the environment. By bringing together the resources of three Cleveland organizations with overlapping conservation, research, and educational goals, Biodiversity Alliance will provide a coordinated approach to research and education.
Biodiversity Alliance mission
To conserve biodiversity and natural environments by collecting, disseminating, and applying scientific knowledge as part of the local and global conservation communities.
Biodiversity Alliance vision
To become a national center of excellence for research and conservation that models how to leverage local institutional resources, inform professionals, students, and the general public and has significant environmental impact locally and globally.
