“Adaptability to Climate Change and Attaining the Millennium Development Goals (MDG)
 for Tropical Ecosystems”

The Local Organising Committee of the Joint Meeting of the Association for Tropical Biology and Conservation AND the Society for Conservation Biology-Africa Section has the pleasure to invite you to join us for five days in Arusha, Tanzania to address this year’s meeting theme: “Adaptability to Climate Change and Attaining the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) for Tropical Ecosystems”

This year’s meeting promises to be a very exciting one. It will be the first ATBC meeting to be hosted in Africa; the first joint meeting between ATBC and SCB, and only the second regional meeting of SCB Africa. Notwithstanding 2011 is also the United Nations Year of the Forests.

We invite conservation biologists, tropical ecologists, conservation practitioners, policy makers, students, professors, NGOs and government agencies to register for the meeting and to submit abstracts under the numerous themes and symposia that have been developed for the meeting. Interesting Workshops and Short courses reflecting broad contexts of the meeting theme are also being offered.

The 2011 meeting is being hosted by the Tanzania Commission for Science and Technology (COSTECH), Tanzania Wildlife Research Institute (TAWIRI) and the College of Natural and Applied Sciences (Botany Department) of the University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM).

The meeting will take place in Arusha, Tanzania, at the Arusha International Conference Centre (AICC) between 12 to 16 June,  2011. Arusha is also the half-way point between Cape Town and Cairo, and the launching pad to some of the greatest natural wonders of the World: The Serengeti National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater, Mt. Kilimanjaro, Lake Manyara and many more.
