The annual Science for Nature Symposium will convene world leaders in science, policy, and conservation for presentations and discussions around an emerging scientific issue in conservation. The symposia will provide an opportunity to discuss and advance the "state of the science" on a critical topic for conservation.
Each Science for Nature Symposium is designed to result in a practical research agenda that would most benefit conservation work on the chosen topic, a number of specific collaborations among scientists and conservationists to pursue that agenda, and summary documents on the content of the symposium.
