HAVANA, Cuba, Apr 28 2017 – Bird educators, scientists and conservationists from the Caribbean and beyond will meet in Cuba from July 13 to 17 for BirdsCaribbean’s International Conference.
“BirdsCaribbean conferences have always been a place for scientists to collaborate beyond political boundaries,” said Andrew Dobson, President of BirdsCaribbean, “Bringing an international group together in Cuba is particularly exciting. We are excited to have the chance to work face-to-face with our Cuban colleagues.”
This year’s theme is “Celebrating Caribbean Diversity.” The Caribbean is a hotspot of biodiversity, with many unique plants and animals. Birds are no exception: 172 species are found only in the Caribbean. The Caribbean is also a cultural melting pot, home to the most diverse group of bird scientists in the world.
The conference will focus on the practice of conservation backed by sound science.
