Las Nubes Project

Since its inception in 1998 with the generous donation of the Las Nubes property by Dr. Woody Fisher, York University has embarked on a transformative journey to establish a renowned biological reserve and research station. This visionary initiative has been made possible through a succession of philanthropic contributions that have not only fortified the university's commitment to environmental conservation but have also propelled it onto the global stage as a hub for cutting-edge research and community engagement. The Las Nubes Biological Reserve, serving as the catalyst for this endeavor, has grown into a cornerstone of York University's dedication to biodiversity preservation and scientific exploration.

Over the years, the institution's unwavering dedication, coupled with ongoing generous support, has fostered the development of an internationally recognized and robust facility that stands as a testament to the importance of preserving our natural heritage and meaningful connections with local communities. Las Nubes now serves as a dynamic center for interdisciplinary studies, attracting scholars, scientists, and conservationists from around the world who collaborate to address pressing environmental challenges and contribute to the advancement of ecological knowledge. Through the synergy of academic excellence and philanthropy, York University's commitment to sustainability and ecological stewardship continues to leave an indelible mark on the global scientific community.
