Sydney Society For Conservation Biology

The Sydney Society for Conservation Biology is a regional chapter of the international Society for Conservation Biology serving the greater Sydney region.

We are a regional chapter of the Society for Conservation Biology (SCB). SCB is an international professional organisation dedicated to promoting the scientific study of the phenomena that affect the maintenance, loss, and restoration of biological diversity. The Society’s membership comprises a wide range of people interested in the conservation and study of biological diversity: resource managers, educators, government and private conservation workers, and students make up the more than 10, 000 members world-wide.

The purpose of local chapters is to provide a way for SCB members in local areas to organise and network around the mission of the society. Think of chapters as a way of “acting locally”.
The Sydney chapter, founded in 2013, is open to members in the greater Sydney Region and beyond! Our current board and membership is largely based at UNSW, Macquarie University, Wollongong and Taronga Conservation Society, but we aim to broaden our membership to include professionals working in fields relevant to conservation as well as anyone else with an interest and desire to get involved in conservation.
