European Congress of Conservation Biology
The European Congress of Conservation Biology (ECCB) is a series of professional meetings organised by the Society for Conservation Biology – Europe Section. The aim of ECCBs is to facilitate the exchange on conservation science and nature conservation practice and policy with the aim of promoting conservation of biological diversity in Europe. The congresses are opened by the environmental minister of the host country, attended by high level policy makers from the EC, and by prominent scientists, including Fellows of the Royal Society.
