The Biosphere Foundation's primary goal is to inspire intelligent use of Earth's natural resources and empower individuals to become leaders in biosphere stewardship. Its programs contribute to an existing body of knowledge about the biosphere and include research, fieldwork, and conservation efforts that work with land and sea biomes, such as coral reefs, mangroves, forests, and agriculture. The foundation also focuses on indicator species and communities associated with them. Its activities take place in Bishop, CA.
