The centre's main function is to conduct, initiate and coordinate research on the preservation, sustainable use and restoration of biodiversity in Sweden. Education and information programmes on biodiversity are other important activities run by the Centre, as well as participation in international projects concerning global biodiversity and support of many organisations in developing countries working with biodiversity issues.
