This is always such an enjoyable, dynamic conference of the next generation of global conservationists. Always enjoy the two workshops I run on planning research projects and improving conservation practice. Many other workshops available and lots of talks. See you there?

Heading home after a FABULOUS #SCCS2024 in Cambridge. It's 24 years since i attended my first one (& I've been on the committee for 12 years!)- it's such a great meeting. We had a good turn out of students & staff from @BangorUni (reflecting strength of conservation in Bangor).
