INCT CENBAM 

(The Amazonian Biodiversity Studies Centre)

Created in 2009 with the principle objective of consolidating outputs based on firm scientific knowledge that start with biodiversity studies and end with information, products and processes that are useful to specific users in the short, medium and long-term. It coordinates a network of Amazonian and extra-Amazonian institutions involved in biodiversity studies.

Research Program on Biodiversity (PPBio) 

Created in 2004 with the aims of furthering biodiversity studies in Brazil, decentralizing scientific production from already-developed academic centers, integrating research activities and disseminating results across a variety of purposes, including environmental management and education.
 
PPBio is structured into three main components: 
1. Inventories: Conducting comprehensive surveys of biodiversity in specific areas.
2. Collections: Establishing and maintaining repositories of biological specimens for research and reference.
3. Themes: Investigating specific topics related to biodiversity, such as ecological interactions or conservation strategies.
 

Additionally, the program collaborates with project partners in multiple countries to facilitate international cooperation and knowledge exchange.

 

The role of regional networks for biodiversity knowledge, dissemination, and conservation.

The PPBio team produced videos with the objective of training researchers and technicians in the sampling and monitoring of target groups. There are many videos about fish, igarapés, commercial trees, ferns, frogs and primates. Watch the videos here.  
The PPBio/CENBAM Biotecas are online collections of images and other types of media such as videos, sound recordings and references, with information from various groups of organisms. They are useful not only for the study and conservation of biodiversity, but also to provide information on the groups concerned to the general public.
