Call for Nominations: SCB 2025 Distinguished Service Awards
The Society for Conservation Biology is excited to announce its call for nominations for the 2025 Service Awards!
The next winners will be announced at SCB’s 32nd International Congress for Conservation Biology (ICCB 2025) right here in Meeanjin Brisbane. We would love to see lots of nominations (and hopefully winners!) from the Oceania region. If you would like guidance on how to submit a nomination please get in touch.
Conservationists, including practitioners and scientists from early career to well-established stages, SCB award winners have made extraordinary contributions to biodiversity conservation and further the mission of SCB. SCB will present up to five Distinguished Service Awards at ICCB 2025 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.
