The Society for Conservation Biology looks forward to welcoming the global community of conservation professionals to its 20th annual meeting, Conservation Without Borders. Please bookmark this Web site and visit often for up-to-date information.

A primary objective of the 2006 meeting is to transcend real and perceived boundaries of ecology, sociology, politics, and human behavior that impede conservation science and its application. By leveraging the intellectual capital of professionals and students with diverse expertise and affiliations, we aim to build conservation capacity at local, regional, and global levels. Major topic areas will range from partnerships with private landowners to marine and freshwater conservation to transboundary conservation. We also will share and celebrate the rich ecology and culture of California with our visitors from around the world.

The literal and figurative conservation landscape is changing rapidly. Please join the Society for Conservation Biology in advancing the science and practice of conserving the Earth's biological diversity.
