GLOBIO

GLOBIO is the registered name for the American, Portland, Oregon based non-profit charity called the Foundation for Global Biodiversity Education for Children. It should not be confused with the GLOBIO biodiversity model, developed by the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency. The American charity developed internet-based and hands-on educational resources to teach children about biological and cultural diversity.[1][2][3] It was founded by the environmental photographer Gerry Ellis in 2001.[4]

Web resources developed by GLOBIO previously included the child-centered online multimedia encyclopedia named Glossopedia (which is no longer available).[5][6] and the Great Ape photo-journalist project named GreatApes2020.[7]

GLOBIO is funded by Toyota USA Foundation grant and private donations. Its partners include the Wolong Nature Reserve in China, Folkmanis Puppets, and the North American Association for Environmental Education.[8]
