ABOUT

We are a pan-institutional collaborative of Smithsonian scientists with a mission to understand how the movement of animals contributes to a more resilient and biodiverse planet. Our leadership team consists of representatives from multiple Smithsonian units (NZCBI, SERC, SMBC, STRI) and we welcome the involvement of any member of our community with interest in supporting this work.
