Society Annual Awards
Edward T. LaRoe III Memorial Award
The Edward T. LaRoe III Memorial Award is given annually to an individual who has been a leader in translating principles of conservation biology into real-world conservation. Preference is given to individuals who have spent at least part of their career in public service.
Distinguished Service Awards
The Society for Conservation Biology presents up to five awards for distinguished service in the field of conservation biology to outstanding individuals, groups, or institutions whose work has furthered the mission of the SCB.
Early Career Conservationist Awards
Early Career Conservationist Awards for achievement by professionals early in their careers (no more than 10 years since leaving school). SCB will not apply an age criteria in order to enable eligibility for individuals who might have come to conservation as a second career.
