A key event in the field of Caribbean biodiversity conservation, our next Caribaea Initiative Research & Conservation Conference will take place in Martinique from June 2 to 5, 2025. The goal of the conference is to bring together researchers, experts, and managers involved in the study and conservation of insular Caribbean biodiversity. This conference will provide a space for sharing scientific knowledge and engaging in strategic exchanges to address the challenges related to biodiversity conservation in this unique region.
