“UPON REQUEST.”

“We solicit donations to provide financial support in the form of grants to researchers, largely affiliated with universities and natural history museums and schools but also independent citizen-scientists and amateur naturalists who pursue biological research on all types of organisms (= biodiversity) living in the natural environments in florida and elsewhere in the world. We publish summaries of the discoveries made by the researchers. We ask grant recipients to author and then publish their findings in scientific papers in journals, popular articles in magazines and other publicly available periodicals and radio and television media. We publish books written by authors and illustrated by photographers, professional or amateur, with a compelling story to tell about endangered species, biodiversity, threatened habitats such as the florida keys or the everglades or tropical rainforests, and virtually any subject relating to conservation and indigenous peoples, which will contribute to preservation of human diversity as well as biodiversity of other organisms. We provide highly secure, pest-free, climate-controlled space in our buildings for scientific collections related to our mission and purpose of promoting the preservation of biodiversity samples from areas of florida, north america, and the world that are either historic or threatened by eminent destruction or environmental impact, or already destroyed. These collections are in many cases, the last historical record of what once lived there. These collections are received as donations and ultimately, they will reside at the university of florida and the states florida museum of natural history, both 501(c)(3) institutions located in alachua county but lacking sufficient building space to house these donations at this point in time.”
