Pennsylvania Biodiversity Partnership Who We Are

Understanding and conserving the web of life in Pennsylvania demands a comprehensive view. This can only be achieved with the participation of all organizations, agencies, and individuals involved in biodiversity studies or impacted by the loss of biodiversity. To this end, the Pennsylvania Biodiversity Partnership (PBP) was created in 2001 in direct response to a recommendation made by the Pennsylvania 21st Century Environment Commission.

The Pennsylvania Biodiversity Partnership (PBP) is a broad-based, public-private partnership created to promote the conservation of native species and their habitats. PBP is unique in bringing together - as equal partners - organizations and individuals with diverse interests and backgrounds. PBP members represent conservation and environmental organizations, government agencies, business and industry, scientists and academic institutions, educators, sportsmen, and private landowners. For the first time in Pennsylvania, under the leadership of the Pennsylvania Biodiversity Partnership, there is a comprehensive and collaborative effort to address statewide biodiversity conservation.
