This year’s conference is set to soar with the theme “On the Wings of Recovery: Resilience and Action.” Some 750 attendees from 30 countries, including professional and amateur ornithologists, students, educators, government officials and policy-makers, researchers, non-governmental organizations, and vendors, will gather in Puerto Rico for a rich and varied program of workshops and symposia on a wide range of topics concerning bird conservation around the world and in the region. These will include a focus on diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice in bird conservation science; planning for resiliency of the Caribbean islands’ endemic bird species, such as the endangered Puerto Rican Parrot and Sharp-shinned Hawk; and a special “Puerto Rico Day,” highlighting the latest avian research, education, and conservation work on the “Island of Enchantment,” among many other topics. There will be something for every interest and specialty, including training opportunities on the BirdSleuth Caribbean educational programme; Caribbean landbird monitoring; the use of video in bird science communication; and the wonderful world of raptors! Attendees will be able to sign up for field trips and birdwatching sessions.
