Pennsylvania
Biodiversity Partnership
PBP
Members Area |
The
Pennsylvania Biodiversity Partnership (PBP) was created in response to
a recommendation made by the Pennsylvania 21st Century Environment Commission
that a broad-based public-private partnership be formed to promote the
conservation of native species and their habitats. PBP is unique in Pennsylvania
in bringing together - as equal partners - organizations and
individuals with diverse interests and backgrounds, all sharing the uniting
goal of conserving biodiversity. PBP is a voluntary coalition and anyone
interested in Pennsylvania's biodiversity may participate. PBP
members represent conservation and environmental organizations, government
agencies, business and industry, scientists and academic organizations,
sportsmen and women, and educators as well as private landowners and other
individuals.
PBP is governed by a Board of Directors that acts on recommendations
from seven task forces (Biodiversity Informatics, Education, Funding,
Policy, Public Relations, Science, and Stewardship). PBP members may
participate in one or more task forces, which meet as needed in various
locations in the state. Task force chairs are elected by each task force
and approved by the Board of Directors. Board members are elected annually
from a slate presented to the Board of Directors and may serve two consecutive
three-year terms.
PBP works to conserve biodiversity statewide by promoting communication
and cooperation among a broad spectrum of stakeholders, both public
and private. Becoming a member will help aid PBP in raising public awareness
of the importance of Pennsylvania’s biodiversity and to develop
and implement recommendations to better conserve it. Membership in PBP
is open to everyone who shares our vision.
