Conservation Committee

The application of sound science in conservation and policy is an essential prerequisite for effective resource management. The ATBC explores pathways by which science can best inform policy and management at local, national, regional, and global levels.

Mission

1. To foster an understanding of current key conservation issues and conflicts, and propose feasible ways of addressing them;
2. To support local, regional, national, and global initiatives to address current and potential threats to biodiversity, ecosystems, and linked human livelihoods;
3. To ensure that ATBC as an organization continues to contribute to debates and decisions that influence tropical ecosystems, sustainability, natural resource use, and linked human livelihoods;
4. To initiate, facilitate, and support outreach and capacity-building activities to develop and strengthen expertise in conservation-related scientific activities, in particular where our annual meetings take place.
