The 8th European Congress of Conservation Biology (ECCB) is organised by the Europe Region of the Society for Conservation Biology (SCB) and Leiden University (FWN/CML), this year’s host, in collaboration with the organising partners Hortus botanicus, Wageningen University & Research (WUR), NIOO-KNAW and supported by the Leiden Biodiversity Network.

The Society for Conservation Biology (SCB) is a non-profit organization dedicated to facilitating, promoting, and advancing the scientific study and conservation of biological diversity. While our historical roots were founded in the field of biology, we recognize that conservation in today’s complex world requires a globalized approach that maximizes collaboration amongst professionals from all fields. With more than 4,000 members worldwide, professionals, students, organizations, and supporters collaborate together in a way that transcends borders to advance the SCB vision and mission. SCB envisions a world where people understand, value, and conserve the diversity of life on Earth and where SCB, a globally diverse, equitable, and inclusive community of professionals, students, organizations, and supporters, serves as a leading voice for the scientific study and conservation of Earth’s biological diversity.
