The deadline to submit nominations for the SCB Service Awards has been extended until Monday, 29 May!
From early career scientists and change-makers to well-known conservation practitioners and leaders, SCB award winners make extraordinary contributions to biodiversity conservation and further the mission of SCB.
Winners will be honored at SCB's 31st International Congress for Conservation Biology (ICCB 2023) in July in Kigali, Rwanda. SCB will present up to five Distinguished Service Awards at ICCB 2023 to individuals, groups or institutions for distinguished service in biodiversity conservation. Individuals may also be nominated in the following special categories of Distinguished Service Awards:
- The Early Career Conservationist Award honors achievements in conservation by professionals early in their careers (no more than 10 years since leaving school)
- The Conservation Beacon Award recognizes women of marginalized and multiply marginalized status that are traditionally under-served within higher education.
- The Edward T. LaRoe III Memorial Award recognizes the innovative application of science to resource management and policy. Preference is given to employees of government agencies or individuals who have spent at least part of their career in public service.
