The 31st International Congress for Conservation Biology (ICCB 2023) is a global forum for addressing conservation challenges and presenting new research in conservation sciences and practices. The goal is to effectively manage biodiversity for the present and our obligation to ensure sustainable biodiversity for future generations. It seeks to build broad-based knowledge that is needed to sustain life on earth for future generations and species. The range of topics cover the nexus between biodiversity conservation and genetics, ecology, biogeography, anthropology, history, psychology, economics, conservation marketing, religion, and more.
