Organization for Tropical Studies

Organization for Tropical Studies (OTS) is a nonprofit consortium of over fifty universities, colleges, and research institutions from around the world. OTS was founded in 1963 with a mission "to provide leadership in education, research, and the responsible use of natural resources in the tropics." The organization offers intensive field courses for undergraduates, graduate students, and natural resource professionals in tropical biology and related disciplines in Costa Rica and South Africa. It also facilitates research, participates in tropical forest conservation, maintains three biological stations in Costa Rica, and conducts environmental education programs.

OTS operates in the Education and Government and Military industries and is headquartered in the United States. Currently, there is no publicly disclosed information available regarding the organization's last investment or the identity of the last investors.

OTS' mission to provide leadership in education, research, and responsible use of natural resources in the tropics aligns with the growing global focus on sustainable practices and environmental conservation. Its extensive network of academic and research partners positions it well to influence and contribute to advancements in tropical biology and related fields.
