The SCB Africa Section grew out of humble beginnings and now has an active membership of over 500 individuals globally. This is the result of a meeting of thirty-five conservation scientists and practitioners who gathered in Nairobi, Kenya in September 2001 to deliberate on conservation biology issues in Africa. In Duluth (USA) 2003, at the 17th annual meeting, members of the Section developed various strategies to confront the challenges faced. One outstanding contribution from the Duluth meeting is the sponsored symposium organized by the Africa Section at the 18th annual meeting in New York City in July / August, 2004. The output is a Special Issue of the high ‘impact factor’ Biological Conservation Journal (Volume 134 Issue 2) published by Elsevier Science. The section has in recent times taken steps to recruit young scientists (with special programs for young women) and people from the social science disciplines to be part of this community. Take some time to navigate the rest of the website.
We welcome you to join the Africa Section. Bon Arrivé.

The Society for Conservation Biology (SCB) Africa Section launched the Africa Section Communications/Mentoring Program (funded by John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation) at the 2007 International Congress for Conservation Biology, Port Elizabeth, South Africa during the Africa Section AGM. The program goal is to increase the capacity of African student conservation biologists to publish and disseminate their research in international peer-reviewed journals and establish careers in conservation biology for more young African scientists, especially women.
