About BBC


Who We Are

The Boston Biodiversity Consortium (BBC) is an informal network of colleagues working in areas related to biodiversity. Through quarterly meetings, the consortium brings together a broad range of like-minded individuals, institutions, and organizations to learn about each other’s work in biodiversity and look for ways to collaborate and add value to each other’s projects. At each meeting, we invite several speakers to present on their work, stimulating rich exchange of ideas and growth of a biodiversity community in greater Boston. The BBC community comprises a rich group of universities, local non-profits, and independent participants. The BBC also hosts a forum to facilitate communication between its members. 

Joining the BBC

Any interested parties, including students and young environmental leaders, are always welcome! If you would like additional information or would like to join the Consortium, please fill the BBC membership application form. If you have any question, please feel free to contact us.
