A centre for research on biodiversity as a critical issue for societal development. We initiate, conduct, and coordinate research, investigations, and communication activities aimed at conserving, restoring, and sustainably using biodiversity.

Research

CBM's research on biodiversity spans many areas within both natural and social sciences. We primarily focus on terrestrial environments and cultural landscapes, such as forests, infrastructure, agricultural landscapes, and mountain regions.

Publications

One of CBM's tasks is to support the implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity in Sweden by providing knowledge and information. One of the ways we do this is by documenting our research findings in reports, articles, and books.

The challenge

Preserving biodiversity is one of the most important issues for the future, in Sweden and worldwide. The SLU Centre for Biological Diversity brings together researchers dedicated to this cause.
