Discover hidden nature
Taxon Foundation runs community projects with the best biodiversity experts for nature education and conservation.
Our aim is to work with community groups, schoolchildren, and citizen scientists and to run field courses and research projects, with a special focus on insects and other tiny creatures.
We started as the non-profit branch of scientific travel agency Taxon Expeditions, which organises real scientific expeditions all over the world for non-scientists.
