YOUNG WOMEN IN CONSERVATION BIOLOGY

In association with the Africa Section of the Society for Conservation Biology

The role of women in conservation biology and their advancement of the discipline globally are evident to all; albeit, African women are underrepresented in the field of conservation science on the African continent. The Africa section of the Society for Conservation Biology (SCB) has identified this gap and created the Young Women Conservation Biologists group (YWCB).

We were formed as a vehicle to advance career opportunities for young African women in conservation and to give support and encouragement to our membership. Based on our 5 core objectives, current efforts aim to:

Create a forum for young African women and women from around the world working in or interested in African conservation.
Build Mentor-Mentee relationships between women across Africa and the globe.
Recognize outstanding contributions to conservation of emerging African women professionals, via an award.
Help young African women further their careers by providing small grants.
