Researching, conserving, restoring
HUB’s mission is advanced through an integrated approach that combines scientific research, conservation initiatives, and community engagement.
HUB is a science-driven conservation organization which is highly agile, deeply grounded in research, and operating as a catalyst for impact.
Our mission is to understand and protect biodiversity through world-class research, conservation and training.
HUB advances three major themes
Explore and document
HUB uncovers the planet’s hidden life. We partner with scientists to explore and document species, interactions and ecosystems—many still unknown to science—revealing the richness of nature so it can be understood and protected.
Protect and restore
HUB turns science into action. Working with local communities, we protect endangered species and restore vital ecosystems, starting in Brazil’s Atlantic rainforest and expanding to other biodiversity hotspots in the future.
Share knowledge
HUB connects people with nature. Through training, education, storytelling, and collaboration, we share discoveries that inspire curiosity, awareness, and action for a thriving planet.
Lifelong commitment to nature and people
A dream of transforming knowledge into impact is what led our founders to make their lifelong commitment to working collaboratively for biodiversity, people and the planet – in the Atlantic Forest and beyond.
