Capacity Building Committee

The ATBC Capacity Building Committee aims to provide ATBC members with new training opportunities in Tropical Biology and Conservation. The Committee organizes skills-oriented workshops, mentoring circles, webinars, and field courses as a means to help ATBC members to gain additional research and leadership skills. Training opportunities aiming at effectively communicating the importance of tropical ecosystems and tropical biodiversity to policy makers, conservation organizations, and the public are also available. Different training opportunities are tailored to target students, early career scientists, conservation practitioners, and trainers. The committee is very international and diverse in scope, including members from all geographic regions and multiple career stages.
