Loma Linda University Center for Biodiversity and Conservation Studies
Loma Linda University Center for Biodiversity and Conservation Studies is an organization that was established by the Department of Earth and Biological Sciences at Loma Linda University in 2010. The organization seeks to enhance public awareness of the importance of environmental stewardship. Visitors are able to view live animals representing various biodiversity hotspots around the world. Reflecting Loma Linda University's Christian philosophy, the center especially seeks to increase environmental awareness among members of religious faith groups, where environmental concern often lags behind that of the general public.〔(Adventist Review : 12CN: LLU Opens Center for Biodiversity and Conservation Studies )〕〔Hayes, F. E., and W. K. Hayes. In press. Seventh-day Adventist faith and environmental stewardship. In
H. T. Goodwin (ed.), (title not yet specified ). Andrews University Press, Berrien Springs, Michigan.〕 While many praise the center for its efforts to encourage environmental stewardship, some have openly questioned whether it is an efficient way to effect real change.〔(Adventist Today : Salmonella is a Societal Disease? )〕
==Current status==

Currently, the center operates out of Mortensen and Griggs Halls on the Loma Linda University campus. Visitors are encouraged to tour the center's venomous snake exhibits, marine animals exhibit, and arthropod collection. The facilities house the venomous snakes, scorpions, spiders, centipedes, and endangered Caribbean boas currently being studied by Loma Linda University Earth and Biological Sciences researchers. The collections also include numerous animals featured in the center's educational programs such as gila monsters, crocodilians, sharks, and rays. Visitors may also tour the department's biology and geology labs to observe the research that students and faculty are currently conducting in areas such as marine biology, herpetology, avian ecology, venom use and variation, limnogeology, sedimentology, and taphonomy.〔http://www.llu.edu/science-technology/ebs/index.page/〕 A portion of nearby Risley Hall is being remodeled into a new marine biology facility. When completed, the facilities will provide new wet laboratory space, student offices and a dedicated tide pool area for marine invertebrate physiological and behavioral studies. The center presents public nature shows, coordinates presentations by guest speakers, and offers field trips to both local and out of state destinations of interest.〔(Friends of Loma Linda University - View Content )〕
