Our Mission

The New Guinea Binatang Research Center (BRC) is an independent non-profit organization registered in PNG and devoted to (i) training Papua New Guineans in biological research as paraecologists, undergraduate and postgraduate students and junior scientists, (ii) biological research focusing on the ecology of rainforests and distribution of biodiversity in PNG, and (iii) grassroots conservation and environmental education.

BRC is striving to provide sophisticated learning and research environment, fostering academic excellence in biodiversity research by combining creative skills and knowledge of gifted young people, often from rural and forest dwelling communities, with local and overseas students and researchers. Crucially we wish to develop this on the basis of freedom of access and equality between all stakeholders, genders, and ethnicities.

BRC is one of the three leading institutions in paraecologist training worldwide, as well as one of the most active PNG institutions in postgraduate training and research in biology. It has a lively program of visiting students and researchers from overseas, and internationally widely recognized research on the ecology rainforests. BRC has an outreach program in environmental education for village schools and communities. BRC is also engaged in practical conservation, exploring innovative strategies of indigenous conservation, protecting the Wanang Conservation Area in collaboration with its landowners, and setting up a new Conservation Area at Mt. Wilhelm, the country's prominent biodiversity hotspot.
