Guided by DISCOVERY
Entomology is the gateway to environmental understanding and conservation.
At the Global Entomology Coalition, our work is driven by discovery. With an estimated 9 million species waiting to be found... our work is cut out for us.
What we know.
-
Insects are the planet’s most diverse and abundant animals.
-
They serve as critical indicators of ecosystem health and biodiversity.
-
Their behaviors, adaptations, and biochemistry reveal patterns essential to understanding larger environmental systems.
What We Want to Know
-
Discover new species across underexplored regions and habitats.
-
Complex behaviors that reveal evolutionary strategies.
-
Unique physiological and biochemical traits with ecological and practical significance.
-
Unseen adaptations that challenge existing biological assumptions.
How We Work
-
Science-led and curiosity-driven: All research is guided by scientific integrity, free from political or commercial influence.
-
Strict funding policy: We accept only funding that supports ethical, impartial, and transparent research.
-
Field-based exploration: We prioritize on-the-ground discovery through expeditions and station-based work.
-
Public-access science: We engage communities and collaborators in participatory research to expand the scope and impact of discovery.
-
Global partnerships: We work with academic institutions, conservation groups, and field experts to scale and share findings.
