Mascot
Kia Ora the Kakapo

Kia Ora is the official mascot of the 2011 ICCB. Kia travels the world as an ambassador for SCB and the thousands of members whose mission is to advance the science and practice of conserving the Earth's biological diversity. Originally from a beautiful island off the coast of New Zealand, Kia Ora made her debut at the 2010 ICCB, where she toasted the meeting's success with her friends in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, especially Ed Monton, the caribou, and promised warm hospitality and an exciting scientific program at next year's meeting in her hometown.
