The Institute was founded to advance animal research and grew through collaboration with academic partners and conservation organizations. Over decades, it became a leading center for wildlife research and biodiversity studies.
The Institute sits within a space dedicated to animal research and education, making science accessible to the public through its connection to the adjacent zoo. This location reflects how scientific work directly supports efforts to protect wildlife populations worldwide.
The Institute collaborates with many universities, so its research is well documented in academic circles and online. Visitors can learn about ongoing projects by exploring the website or asking about activities at the adjacent zoo.
Researchers here discovered that common toads can sense seismic activity and alter their behavior before earthquakes occur. This finding opens new pathways for using animal behavior to predict natural phenomena.
