“Knowing, valuing and conserving nature” reflects the essence of the Biological & Environmental Research Program (IBAM Program). Its mission is based on the interaction between the Human Being, the Environment and Sustainable Development, as well as the promotion of regional, national and international scientific collaboration from an inter and multidisciplinary approach.

IBAM Program’s research includes: i) Biodiversity, ii) Systematics, iii) Conservation and iv) Sustainability. In this sense, it aims to become a reference in basic and applied research that promotes the solution to problems in nature from a local and global perspective.
