Biogeography
& Conservation Lab
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 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).
