The Borderlands Research Foundation began as a nonprofit in 2019 to amplify and extend the work of the Borderlands Research Institute (BRI)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Nestled in Alpine, Texas, the Chihuahuan Desert offers unique landscapes, wildlife, and ecological challenges. The Foundation exists to support research into these ecosystems and to ensure that scientific discovery translates into stewardship and public understanding.<\/p>\n

Since our founding, we\u2019ve provided grants, scholarships, and logistical support for fieldwork, enabling deeper insight into desert ecology and wildlife conservation.<\/p>\n<\/div> \n<\/div> \n<\/div> \n
