The Southern Appalachian Biodiversity and Ecology Center (SABEC) promotes collaboration
within Western Carolina University, with Highlands Biological Station, and with other
regional institutions in education, research, and outreach focused on ecology and
biotic diversity in the mountain ecosystems of western North Carolina and surrounding
areas.
Biology and natural resources management faculty, WCU graduate and undergraduate students, regional organizations, scientists at other institutions, and teachers in regional public schools participate in SABEC activities.
SABEC activities include research grant proposals, collaboration with public schools, student research
projects, and collaboration with institutions such as the N.C. Natural History Museum.
