The mission of the E. O. Wilson Foundation is to preserve biological diversity in the living environment by inventing educational strategies in the service of conservation.
The Foundation is guided by the experience and wisdom of E. O. Wilson and is built upon many of the remarkable insights gained from his lifetime in science, education, and environmentalism. The Foundation’s embrace of the full range of approaches to biodiversity -- from hands-on engagement with the natural world to modern biotechnology -- reflects Wilson’s own journey from boyhood exploration of Alabama’s wildlands to a career at the forefront of science at Harvard University.
