About us

HISTORY

The Baguaçu Institute for Biodiversity Research – IBPBio is a non-profit association founded in 2021 by doctors, masters and specialists from different areas of the environment who came together with the main purpose of bringing to the local society the knowledge acquired over the several years of academic and professional experience in the areas of science, technology, social and innovation in several countries. Faced with the catastrophic scenario, already projected in 2019, confirmed in 2020 and amplified in 2021, caused by the pandemic of Covid-19, the founders of IBPBio saw the need to join forces to help combat growing disinformation and the lack of information on scientific knowledge related to the environment and socio-environmental development.

MISSION

IBPBio’s social mission is to collaborate in scientific development, in the preservation and conservation of Brazilian biodiversity and in local sustainable socio-environmental development, promoting, disseminating and strengthening education, scientific research and innovation. 

Think global,
