Welcome to The Pimm Group

Welcome to The Pimm Group website. Please take a few moments to explore the resources available on the site. For more information about who we are, our goals and mission, visit the About and FAQs pages.

The Pimm Group is led by Dr. Stuart Pimm, Doris Duke Professor of Conservation Ecology at Nicholas School of the Environment, Duke University. His students and others have contributed since 2003 to this website, including dozens of blog posts on topics related to biodiversity, conservation, ornithology, economics, GIS science, natural disaster impacts and much more.

We welcome enquiries. Please visit our Contact page to send us an email. We are delighted to get your comments, suggestions, ideas or Markovian random thoughts.

We have a moral responsibility to protect the world’s ‘special places’–those richest in biodiversity and most threatened by human advances.

– Dr. Stuart Pimm
