This gathering marks a unique opportunity to strengthen collaboration, share knowledge, and spark meaningful conversations that can shape the future of ecological science and conservation practice.
The theme, “Changing the Conversation – Ecology in a Shifting Political Landscape”, invites reflection and bold dialogue about the evolving role of ecology and conservation in a world facing increasing environmental, social, and political pressures. Together, we will explore how our work as ecologists, conservationists, researchers, and policy makers can respond to and influence the narratives that drive change.
Hosted by Auckland University of Technology (AUT) in the vibrant heart of Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland. AUT’s city campus offers a modern and inspiring setting for our discussions, just steps away from the cultural, coastal, and ecological richness that makes Aotearoa so unique.
Whether you are a seasoned scientist, early-career researcher, student, or practitioner, we warmly invite you to join us for this important conversation.
