The Field Museum Rapid Social and Biological Inventory team explores some of the richest places on Earth in search of large-scale conservation opportunities. By gathering biological and social information, our expeditions provide the scientific foundation for protecting and managing these landscapes.

We work with partners and stakeholders at all levels, building on existing conservation efforts and elevating local and regional expertise. Together, we gather biological and social information needed to inform conservation action.

Our inventories gather critical information to support conservation action on the ground. Explore our reports to discover what we found, learn about the landscapes and communities we studied, and see how our findings are shaping new conservation areas.
