ICCB is the premier global meeting for conservation scientists and professionals, including researchers, students, agency personnel, environmental educators, practitioners, and other conservation stakeholders. Attendees gather for lively discussions and scientific presentations on the nexus between biodiversity conservation and genetics, ecology, biogeography, anthropology, history, psychology, economics, conservation marketing, religion, and more.
It is an excellent opportunity for GBIF to engage with data issues relevant to the conservation biology community, and the location of this year's Congress in Africa enables us to have a special focus on GBIF's work on supporting mobilization and use of biodiversity data for African conservation.
