Just a reminder that earlybird registrations for the 3rd IUCN Species Survival Commission International Conservation Translocation Conference #ICTC23 in Fremantle, Western Australia close on 31st July. Don't forget the excellent line-up of workshops, which are rapidly filling up!

The International Conservation Translocation Conference is hosting workshops with ecological modelling gurus Jo Potts Jo Potts and Darryl Mackenzie with a 2-day course aimed at translocation practitioners, as well as a 5-day introductory course conservationtranslocations.com/workshops
