The Sabin Center is dedicated to safeguarding our planet’s most vital ecosystems through cutting-edge research, strategic partnerships, and on-the-ground solutions. As environmental stewards, we tackle some of the most pressing global challenges –biodiversity loss, deforestation, climate-driven crises, and sustainable land use – through an integrated approach that blends science, policy, and community engagement.
Our work spans four key areas, each addressing a critical dimension of environmental sustainability:
- Environmental Crises on Tropical Frontiers – Protecting fragile ecosystems at the edge of human development by addressing deforestation, unsustainable mining, and the social and economic factors that drive environmental degradation.
- Protected Areas Strategy – Rethinking conservation by integrating national parks, Indigenous lands, and working wildlands into functional networks that balance environmental and human needs.
- Ag-Society Nexus – Exploring the intersection of agriculture, sustainability, and community resilience to develop regenerative practices that work for both people and the planet.
- AI for a Changing World – Leveraging artificial intelligence and emerging technologies to revolutionize conservation, climate resilience, and ecosystem management.
Our solutions are collaborative by design—working hand-in-hand with governments, scientists, Indigenous communities, and conservation leaders to drive impact where it matters most.
