Our Vision To become a leading research infrastructure that provides the collections, data, and information on the biodiversity of Anatolia—positioned as a bridge between Europe and Asia, at the intersection of three global biodiversity hotspots (Mediterranean Basin, Irano-Anatolian, and Caucasus)—to the national and international research community in compliance with FAIR principles.

Our Mission To document Anatolian biodiversity through natural history collections, fieldwork, and long-term monitoring; to share this knowledge with science, policy, and society; and to train the next generation of biodiversity researchers.
