Storytelling is a crucial skill for scientists to use to communicate their work. A workshop held at the IMCC helped SCB scientists develop their storytelling skills.

SCB will be busy moving to a new office location in Washington, DC the week of 12 October. We won't close for business completely during the move, but much of our time will be dedicated to packing and setting up the new office. We will be back to regular working hours in our new office by 21 October.

IPBES played a significant role at ICCB-ECCB, starting on the first day of the Congress when IPBES Executive Secretary Dr. Anne Larigauderie delivered the opening plenary "IPBES: Biodiversity Science for Decision Making."

SCB honored five individuals and one group for their outstanding contributions to conservation at the opening ceremony at ICCB-ECCB in Montpellier.

ICCB-ECCB was the largest congress in SCB history, it was also the Society's first international meeting to implement an official code of conduct. We are excited to apply this same standard for future SCB meetings.
