The Institute for Regional Conservation (IRC) is a private nonprofit organization focused on protecting, restoring, and managing biodiversity on a regional scale, with the aim of preventing local extinctions of rare plants, animals, and ecosystems. Based in Delray Beach, Florida, the group conducts conservation research and action across South Florida, the Caribbean, and beyond, employing geographically distributed data to inform strategies that maintain viable native populations. Founded in 1984, IRC emphasizes a data-driven approach that expands conservation beyond single-species emphasis to safeguard regional biodiversity in areas prone to rapid habitat fragmentation. It collaborates with partners and other organizations to apply conservation science in field settings, seeking to protect and restore native plant and animal communities in key regions. A recent development noted in March 2026 involves a partnership with Delraybeachhistory.org and several local organizations, highlighting ongoing collaboration with community and cultural groups in Delray Beach.
