Expeditions of Natural Discovery
Scientific expeditions are central to our work.
Some of our recent expeditions led to the discovery of new bird and butterfly species in Colombia, 3 new salamanders in Costa Rica, a new species of marine worm in the North Sea and 2 new species of wild tomato in Peru.
Expeditions are expensive, but your support can play a vital role in making them possible.
