Documenting biodiversity through research

At BPC, we see ourselves as explorers first and foremost. Driven by an insatiable curiosity, we believe that careful observation is the key to unlocking the secrets of the natural world. We’re passionate about uncovering the intricate connections within biodiversity, the very foundation upon which humanity has built its most essential innovations. From agriculture and life-saving medicines to the inspiration for flight, shelter, and clothing, biodiversity has shaped our world in countless ways.

Our commitment to exploration extends beyond simple appreciation. BPC staff are active researchers, constantly undertaking new projects as a core part of our business model. We believe in reinvesting our profits directly back into our work, allowing us to pursue our mission of understanding biodiversity with unwavering focus and free from external constraints. This reinvestment fuels our ability to delve deeper, learn more, and ultimately contribute meaningfully to the scientific community.

A cornerstone of our research is the curation and deposition of museum specimens. Our founder’s extensive experience in world-renowned museums instilled in us a deep respect for the value of these biological records. We view this data as a vital, time-capsule-like foundation for understanding and tracking changes in biodiversity over time. These meticulously documented specimens provide invaluable insights for current and future research.

With a vision that spans the globe, BPC aims to establish a global research footprint. We are particularly drawn to projects that address the “forgotten” corners of biodiversity – the under-surveyed regions, the shelved conservation crises, the areas where too little resource, interest, knowledge, and time have been dedicated. We believe that these overlooked ecosystems hold crucial information vital to our understanding of the planet.

Our research adopts a holistic ecosystem approach. We meticulously survey all aspects of the biota, sampling across various timescales and engaging in extensive observation and collection. This comprehensive methodology allows us to gain a deeper understanding of the complex interactions within ecosystems and the vital role biodiversity plays in maintaining their health and resilience.
