Alveus Research & Recovery Institute

We are taking the Alveus approach to the wild. Pushing forward conservation technology, public involvement in science, and recovery ecology to make our world a better place for both people and wildlife.

The Pixel Project is Back!

Following your incredible support with the original Pixel Project, unlocking all 10,000 pixels in our mural and raising $1,000,000 to fund the initial development of the institute, we are excited to announce the launch of Pixel Project 2! If you didn't get a chance to unlock a pixel on the original mural, now is your chance to join us as we continue fundraising to support the development of ARRI.

Saving Animals From Extinction

Conservation breeding programs can help prevent extinction by preserving remaining genetic diversity and maintaining populations of endangered species under human care. The ultimate goal of conservation breeding programs is to reintroduce endangered species back into the wild.
