Where We Work

Pacific Biodiversity Institute is located in a fairly remote mountain valley in the North Cascades of Washington State. However, our work takes us to diverse locations across the western hemisphere. Much of our work has been focused in the Pacific Northwest and we continue to engage in many projects in our home state or adjacent states. We have conducted many significant projects in the southwestern USA, particularly, in the state of Arizona. Many of our projects have had a more national extent, or have covered the entire western USA. We have engaged in projects in various parts of Latin America in conjunction with conservation partner organizations or interns from Latin countries.
