Objectives of GMBA:

Steep terrain and mountain climate in combination with severe land use pressure cause mountain ecosystems to rank among the most endangered landscapes in the world. The Global Mountain Biodiversity Assessment (GMBA) is a global network on mountain biodiversity research of DIVERSITAS (Paris, F), an international global change research programme on biodiversity sciences.
  • Actively exploring and explaining the great biological richness of the mountains of the world and its responses to global change
  • Synthesizing often hidden and fragmented results of research on moutain biodiversity
  • Shaping a global corporate identity for a scattered research community
  • Increasing the visibility of mountain biodiversity issues
  • Advocating studies on the human influence on natural and cultural landscapes in the mountains
  • Encouraging sustainable development of rural upland areas
  • Providing input to policy makers and stakeholders.
