Biogeography & Conservation Lab
Systematics & Evolution Theme, NHM=20

The Biogeography & Conservation Lab's research programme is a specific
Natural History Museum (NHM) response to the Convention on Biological
Diversity and the lab is now an active partner in many national and
international biodiversity initiatives.  Its mission is to develop and apply
appropriate, explicit and accountable methods to tackle problems in
biogeography and in biodiversity assessment to meet conservation needs at
any spatial scale (it does not provide data). It works in collaboration with
the NHM Biodiversity Information Unit to create high quality biodiversity
information products and services, tailored to meet the needs of different
users, including natural resource managers, conservation planners and
biodiversity specialists.=20
