Across the globe, ecosystems, plants and animals are rapidly disappearing. As these wild lands, waters and species are destroyed, vast libraries of organic compounds potentially useful to medicine are also lost forever.

As a member of the Alliance for Global Conservation, CI is dedicated to spreading the word about the immeasurable benefits that biodiversity provides for human health–for both today and tomorrow’s medical breakthroughs.
