Global Entomology Coalition

We exists to create a cultural shift in the public perception of insects and propel entomological research and conservation forward by using the field of entomology as the foundation for environmental action. By developing collaboration across borders, and opening research expeditions to the public, we can accelerate entomological knowledge and illuminate the pathways to safeguarding our planet’s most vital stewards.

Education: It all starts with education and outreach. We provide resources, training programs, educational initiatives, and open research expeditions to the public to inspire and foster appreciation for the incredibly important behaviors, adaptations, and environmental roles insects play in maintaining global ecological balance. Research: At the core of the GEC’s objectives is the promotion of research that addresses critical issues related to insect biodiversity, ecology, behavior, and physiology. By facilitating communication and collaboration among experts across various disciplines and the general public, the coalition aims to accelerate scientific discoveries and develop effective strategies for insect conservation and discovery. Conservation: The coalition actively engages with local businesses and communities, NGOs, biological field stations, universities and schools to advocate for evidence-based policies and practices that support insect conservation efforts and change the global attitudes toward insects to help turn their negative reputation around.
