We are a collaborative network comprising entomologists (amateur and professional), researchers, biological field stations. educators, artists, philanthropists, policymakers, and enthusiasts from around the world. The GEC serves as a unified platform for fostering cooperation, sharing knowledge, and driving progress in the field of entomology. We want to demystify the scientific process and involve everyone, regardless of academic background, experience, or nationality in entomological research and conservation projects around the world.
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.
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. We aim to accelerate scientific discoveries and develop effective and innovative strategies for insect research and discovery.
The coalition actively engages with other NGOs, businesses and local communities 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.
