Aim of our project is to establish an international centre for the conservation of invertebrates. In this centre, we want to study invertebrate biodiversity, its conservation status and threats, develop plans to preserve invertebrates from extinction and share this knowledge with the public and politics as well as with students and experts from developing countries. We cooperate closely with the IUCN SSC Specialist Groups and host the IUCN SSC Invertebrate Conservation Sub-Committee.

To search for life, to understand it and finally, above all, to preserve it (E.O. Wilson)
