We are in the process selecting
nominees for the Society of Conservation Biology Annual Awards. The
society gives up to seven awards each year these are:
The Edward T. LaRoe III Memorial Award.
This award is given annually to an
individual who has been a leader in translating principles of
conservation biology into real-world conservation. Preference is
given to individuals who have spent at least part of their career in
public service.
Distinguished Service Awards.
The Society for Conservation Biology
presents up to five awards for distinguished service in the field of
conservation biology to outstanding individuals, groups, or
institutions whose work has furthered the mission of SCB.
Early Career Conservationist Awards
Early Career Conservationist Awards for
achievement by professionals early in their careers (no more than 10
years since leaving school). SCB does not apply an age criteria in
order to enable eligibility for individuals who might have come to
conservation as a second career.
Guidelines
The Awards Committee is soliciting
nominations from SCB members for these awards, which will be
presented at SCB's biennial International Congress for Conservation
Biology.
To nominate an individual or
institution for an award, a nomination packet (including a minimum of
two supporting letters) must be received by 1 December of the year
before (even years) the award year (odd years).
As members of the Europe Section we
should focus on members related to Europe that could merit any of
these awards. If you have candidates please contact me (Javier
Bustamante) or directly Rodrigo Medellín, the chairman of the AwardsCommitee.
