SCCS 2012 is coming up October 10-12! 

The Student Conference on Conservation Science-New York (SCCS-NY) provides a unique opportunity for those beginning their careers to present their work before established leaders in science, policy, and management. In addition to formal presentations, the conference offers numerous opportunities to interact with senior-level conservation professionals at workshops, informal gatherings, and networking events.

The Student Conference on Conservation Science (SCCS) is the only international conference designed for graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and early-career professionals pursuing or considering the field of conservation science. Interactions with established conservationists will encourage collaborations, inspire further research, and launch lasting associations.

SCCS-NY, hosted by the Center for Biodiversity and Conservation at the American Museum of Natural History, is a sister conference to the highly successful SCCS-Cambridge, begun in 2000 by the University of Cambridge, and the newly developed SCCS-Bangalore. SCCS-Cambridge is currently organizing its 13th annual meeting, to be held in March 2012. SCCS-Bangalore's third conference will be held in August 2012.
