Association for Tropical Biology and Conservation

ATBC is an international society whose members are academic scientists, conservation professionals, and researchers. The ATBC fosters collaboration and information sharing across a broad community of tropical biologists and conservationists. The society provides outlets for research dissemination through its journal Biotropica and annual meetings, and provides educational and funding opportunities, particularly for early career scientists working across the tropics. As a coherent global community, the ATBC provides a credible, collective, and authoritative vision of tropical biology and conservation issues that underpin public policy and management action. We are forming regional chapters and boosting member engagement and outreach activities.
