Mission
The Conservation Biology Institute (CBI) provides scientific expertise to support the conservation and recovery of biological diversity in its natural state through applied research, education, planning, and community service. Recognizing the urgency of the global ecological crisis, CBI is dedicated to providing sound knowledge of ecological systems in a timely, cost-effective manner.

programs
CBI’s effectiveness and success is tied to our ability to deploy our staff on issues that are important to conservation. These issues range in scale from very local to national and international. We organize our efforts under these Programs:
- Conservation Science Support — CBI works closely with our conservation partners to provide scientific expertise to address a wide range of conservation issues throughout the U.S. These efforts range from providing scientific rationale for land acquisitions to producing public outreach materials.
- Conservation Planning And Stewardship — Relying on our ecological training, knowledge of environmental regulations, and upon our expertise with computer mapping, GIS analysis, and remote sensing, CBI develops effective conservation plans and stewardship prescriptions from regional to local scales.
- Forest Conservation — CBI is rapidly becoming a leader in forest conservation science and in local and regional assessments and mapping. This program emphasized proactive planning over reactive defense to protect native forests throughout the world.
- International Program — CBI has been actively involved in conservation planning and assessment projects in areas outside the U.S., including Canada, Mexico, Central America, and most recently in China.
- Education — Conservation education is an ongoing activity, and we accomplish this objective through writing, public speaking, mentoring, and teaching.
How are we unique?
EHL is an extremely lean non-profit with tremendous accomplishments
in large-scale conservation planning and policy. Our integrity and results-oriented
methodology has garnered respect and credibility among a broad spectrum
of groups and agencies. These relationships continue to lead to ever-greater
opportunities to establish new and higher standards for conservation.

The Conservation Biology Institute (CBI) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) founded in 1997. This institution is an equal opportunity provider.
With its main office in Corvallis, Oregon and branch office in San Diego, California, the mission of CBI is to help save the diversity of life on this planet in two primary ways: applied conservation research and education. Through our research — alone or in collaboration with others — CBI actively seeks creative new ways to address a wide range of ecological problems from endangered species to regional conservation planning. The objective of our research is to develop better conservation tools, techniques, and analyses that can be used to stop what has been called the sixth great extinction episode on Earth. Our education mission is focused on taking what we and others have learned and transferring that knowledge to the broader conservation community as quickly and as efficiently as possible. In both the research and education components of CBI, we welcome and encourage collaboration at every level.
