8th European Congress of Conservation Biology (ECCB) 2026

Welcome to the 8^th ECCB in Leiden, where researchers, policymakers, and practitioners will have the opportunity share knowledge and exchange ideas. Not only will this congress present exciting scientific research, but we will also showcase successful collaborations and build bridges between stakeholders and disciplines.  The meeting will provide an important opportunity to tackle the issues that we all face in everyday life, including how to communicate the biodiversity conservation message effectively, and   how to maintain a dialogue in difficult political or social circumstances.
