#ICESASC25 attendees, a conference for your calendar next year! It's different (more diversity of topics, geographies) but super fun and engaging.

I will be at #IMCC8 - will you??

Defend the Roadless Rule with SCBNA today!

TAKE ACTION with SCBNA TODAY to write in opposition to the proposed rescission of the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule. This legislation brings devastating & irreversible consequences to the biodiversity, wildfire resilience, and long-term health of our nation’s forests. tinyurl.com/bdf7hs54

Today is the last day to submit your comment!

TODAY is the last day to submit a public comment opposing the rollback of the Roadless Rule which protects 58M acres of U.S. forests, critical for #biodiversity, climate, & clean water. conbio.org/publications...

And the Winner is.... Sidney Stiefel, the University of Hawaii! #PacificConsBio recently sponsored the Best Speaker award at the @iccb2025.bsky.social in June 2025 Sidney's #Masters #research focusses on documenting the oral histories of Kiaʻi Kāhuli predecessors to improve #conservationefforts

I had a great time in Brisbane at @iccb2025.bsky.social presenting my first and second PhD chapters. I was even a finalist for best presentation at the conference! I saw so many old friends, met great new people, and heard so much cool science. #ICCB2025

Thank you to everyone who took part in the conversations, and shared your work. We hope you returned home with new insights, connections, and questions that will shape the future of the global conservation community! @iccb2025.bsky.social @society4conbio.bsky.social

Following a weekend of workshops, we kicked off with a most wonderful welcome to country and smoking ceremony performed by Songwoman Baringa and Aunty Kathryn Fisher. We were privileged to have 116 Indigenous participants sharing their knowledge, perspectives and leadership during the congress.

We’re still buzzing from #ICCB2025! We welcomed 1,919 attendees from 94 countries to Meeanjin Brisbane - with 55% joining us from overseas. Conference participants spoke more than 60 languages, and many made use of the AMAZING Wordly, which provided live translation in all our presentation rooms.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us in Brisbane/Meanjin for #ICCB2025! Your energy, ideas & dedication to #conservation made this congress unforgettable. We’re already looking ahead and hope to see you in #Mexico for #ICCB2027 co-hosted by @scbnorthamerica.bsky.social + the SCB LACA Region!

👁️ Let's take a look at @iccb2025.bsky.social by @society4conbio.bsky.social: THE #conservation event for 2025! 🤩 We talked with #ICCB2025 delegates about #scholarlypublishing, but also about the @horizoneu.bsky.social projects: @selinaproject.bsky.social & REST-COAST. 📍Hosted by @scboceania.org.

We’re excited to welcome the new President of the Society for Conservation Biology: Mwezi Mugera! We acknowledge and thank outgoing President Vanessa Adams for her long service. #ICCB2025

If you can’t wait for the next ICCB - We are thrilled to announce that the next SCB Oceania conference will be held in Nov 2026 together with @newzealandecology.bsky.social in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, Aotearoa NZ! #NZES_SCBO2026 #ICCB2025 confer.eventsair.com/2026-nzes-sc...

With standing room only, @meg-shaw.bsky.social talked us through ways to responsibly increase engagement in wildlife conservation images. My fav tips: avoid human-animal interactions and no need to stick to mammal pics only - similar engagement across a range of taxa! #ICCB2025

It has been a pleasant and productive journey with the six members of the #ICCB2025 Language Accessibility Subcommittee. Very proud of what we've accomplished and have learnt that a small group of committed people (+ a bit of 💰) can make a real difference in academia. conbio.org/mini-sites/i... 1/4

Had a great time in Brisbane for #ICCB2025! My favourite part was making new connections by getting to greet people at the registration desk, and at the poster evening, where I had a constant stream of lovely questions.

#iccb2025 biodiversity and carbon planting day with Brisbane Sustainability Agency #ArcherfieldWetlands Getting in a few thousand plants and finding lots of bird species

What an amazing session, organised by @tatsuya-amano.bsky.social et al. @scboceania.org @conbiology.bsky.social #iccb2025

A great way to wrap up the #ICCB2025 conference - a trip to the stunning Springbrook National Park with fellow conservation biologists!

For example, they have developed & disseminated the guidelines for giving linguistically friendly presentations in English for the #ICCB2025 conference (available as a Word file & an infographic). This is something that can readily adopted in psychology conferences. (4/10)

What blew my mind away, though, is that #ICCB2025 offered LIVE, REAL-TIME English transcription/translation services for their oral presentations via their conference app. That's truly unbelievable! 🤯 (8/10)

It's a summer conference season, so I thought I'd tell you about the tremendous efforts our conservation biology colleagues have been making to make conferences more INCLUSIVE & friendly to early career researchers (ECRs) not fluent in English. I find their accomplishments truly inspiring. 🧵(1/10)

See @amiyake.bsky.social's much better summary of our initiative at #ICCB2025 than mine here. Thank you! #languagebarries

🌎🇦🇺🌿 IEB Chile presente en International Congress for Conservation Biology 2025 #ICCB2025 en la ciudad de #Brisbane, #Australia.

Richard Fuller was honoured with the Society for Conservation Biology Distinguished Service Award at #ICCB2025 ! This award recognises individuals, groups or institutions for distinguished service in any field associated with conservation biology and whose work has furthered the mission of SCB.

Last month, I had the opportunity to attend the International Congress for Conservation Biology (ICCB) in Meanjin/Brisbane. It was great event, but the thing that really struck me was Brisbane's urban greening! 🌿 #ICCB2025 #UrbanGreening #Brisbane

WildCRU researchers shared their work at @iccb2025.bsky.social. From jaguars (Gui) and African wild dogs (Jenny) to animal welfare (Lauren), wild meat research (Jasmin) and a decision support system workshop (Carol), WildCRU was proud to be part of the global conservation conversation!

You're invited! Join the Revive Working Group’s first virtual meeting on July 10 to connect, reflect & nurture resilience in the conservation community. Two time options available. All are welcome. Register here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Presented my research at @iccb2025.bsky.social on Common Crane migration—showing how movement ecology and stopover resource selection inform conservation across the Central Asian Flyway. Also highlighted gaps in the protected area network along the route.

What a week for #conservationbiology! The breadth of talks given by so many determined and passionate scientists @iccb2025.bsky.social was overwhelming. Thank you so much @scboceania.org for bringing us together! Let's keep these conversations going long after we head home 🌏🌱 #ICCB2025

Well that was epic, #ICCB2025 folks! Always energised by the intellect and passion and ideas of the conversation community. Thanks so much to all my beautiful friends, and to the organisers for making the week such an inspiring conference. See you in Mexico! @iccb2025.bsky.social

🌟 What an incredible week at @iccb2025.bsky.social! Some of our dedicated staff showcased their innovative research and projects during their poster sessions. Their exciting work sparked plenty of engaging conversations with interested attendees and prospective collaborators. #ICCB2025

Many thanks to our sponsors: Integrative Conservation, Wiley & @plosbiology.org, @iccb2025.bsky.social Steering Committee esp Micha Jackson, @society4conbio.bsky.social Board/staff. 3/4

Still can’t believe #ICCB2025 is over! Thank you @iccb2025.bsky.social for an exceptional conference! Meeting so many researchers & practitioners who are passionate about conservation biology has been life changing. The sheer quality of the talks, posters, workshops, & courses has been so impactful!

Congratulations to Dr. Sanjay Molur for being awarded the #ICCB2025 Distinguished Service Award for his inspirational work for #biodiversity #conservation. @iccb2025.bsky.social @society4conbio.bsky.social
