We are proud of our work and would like you to see and experience what we do to protect and enhance our environment

The Midwest Biodiversity Institute (MBI) is a 501[c][3] nonprofit corporation located in Columbus, Ohio. MBI is dedicated to assessing important environmental and natural resource issues, including water quality and the protection and restoration of biodiversity utilizing biological indicators using the best scientific methods and practices available. We are nationally recognized for our pioneering research methods that produce credible data, and, since 1997 we have amassed a significant body of research that helps to  advance the understanding of critical habitats, species and environmental management practices.

MBI continues that work today, providing field research, data analyses and advice concerning the quality and characteristics of natural resources to government agencies and the private sector.
