The third Conservation Optimism Summit is the global meeting to *enable*, *empower*, and *embrace* people involved in meeting the great conservation challenges of our time, through *sharing hope, passing on new skills, building community, and fostering wellbeing*. Explore the programme and book at https://summit24.conservationoptimism.org
This is *not* an academic conference in the traditional sense; rather, it is a gathering of all people engaged with conservation and the global conservation community. Whether you represent an NGO, a business, an indigenous community, the arts sector, or academia, this event will demonstrate new and innovative ways to communicate conservation inspiration and success. Besides learning from real case studies and our expert speakers, you will have the opportunity to network with fellow conservation champions from across the world: the 2019 Summit welcomed delegates from over 30 countries.
Highlights from the workshops and sessions include:
- Scientists - from Evidence Providers to Policy Co-producers
