International Biogeographic Society

The International Biogeographic Society (IBS) is a global organization that brings together scientists and researchers who study biogeography—the science of how and why different species and ecosystems are distributed across the planet. Founded in 1980, the society promotes research, education, and collaboration among members to better understand patterns of biodiversity and the factors that influence them, such as climate, geography, and human activity. By facilitating conferences, workshops, and publications, the IBS aims to advance knowledge and conservation efforts, helping to protect the planet’s unique ecosystems and species for future generations.
