ECCB 2026 — 8th European Congress of Conservation Biology
July 6, 2026 – July 10, 2026
Welcome to the 8th 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.
During this week we will try to find answers to our key question: how can biodiversity be safeguarded effectively in the long term?
