The International Society of Tardigrade Hunters was founded in 2015 to advance the study of tardigrade (water bear) biology while engaging and collaborating with the public.
ISTH's main goals are to:
Provide information about the collection and study of tardigrades to the public.
Provide resources for the appreciation and advancement of tardigrade biology.
Inspire wonder of the natural world in the next generation of scientists.
