ICCB 2025 Plenary Speakers

Plenary speakers shape perspectives on the future of conservation, inspire the conservation community to confront shared challenges, illuminate new ideas and possibilities for biodiversity conservation with thought-provoking insights for new pathways in conservation, and more.

Special consideration is given to speakers who focus on solutions to conservation challenges, use inter-disciplinary approaches to address cutting-edge questions in conservation science, and are uniquely positioned to address social and racial justice in conservation and the persistence of bias and inequity in conservation. ICCB prioritizes speakers who historically face systemic barriers to participation on account of race, gender or sexual orientation.
