As an impactful private non-profit organization, The Institute for Regional Conservation (IRC) is committed to the protection, restoration, and long-term management of biodiversity on a regional basis, and to the prevention of local extinctions of rare plants, animals, and ecosystems. IRC works on conservation research and action throughout South Florida, the Caribbean, and beyond. Founded in 1984, IRC promotes an innovative approach to conservation. We seek to protect - and restore - viable populations of all native plant and animal species within key regions by designing conservation strategies powered by rich, geographically distributed data. Our approach adds critical value to traditional conservation strategies focused on charismatic animals or species with small global ranges. This work is especially important in regions of the world where rapid fragmentation of native ecosystems has been experienced or is expected.
