[Miranda Johnson]

The Society for Conservation Biology's 2025 Service Awards are currently open for nominations!

SCB award winners - from early career to well-established conservationists, practitioners, and scientists - have made extraordinary contributions to biodiversity conservation and further the mission of SCB.

The next winners will be announced at SCB's 32nd International Congress for Conservation Biology (ICCB 2025) in June in Brisbane/Meanjin, Australia. SCB will present up to five Distinguished Service Awards at ICCB 2025 to individuals, groups, or institutions for distinguished service in biodiversity conservation. Individuals may also be nominated in the following special categories of Distinguished Service Awards:

• The Early Career Conservationist Award honors achievements in conservation by professionals early in their careers (no more than 10 years since leaving school).
• The Conservation Beacon Award recognizes women of marginalized and multiply marginalized status that are traditionally under-served within higher education.
• The Edward T. LaRoe III Memorial Award recognizes the innovative application of science to resource management and policy. Preference is given to employees of government agencies or individuals who have spent at least part of their career in public service.

Learn more about SCB's awards program and submit your nominations by 30 December 2024.
