Last December 2021, the 30th International Congress of Conservation Biology (ICCB 2021) was held. Although this edition should have been held in Rwanda, this time the congress took place virtually, conditioned by the global situation of COVID.

ICCB is the world’s premier gathering for conservation scientists and practitioners, including researchers, students, agency staff, environmental educators, professionals and other conservation stakeholders. Attendees gather for discussions and scientific presentations on the nexus between biodiversity conservation and genetics, ecology, biogeography, anthropology, history, psychology, economics, conservation marketing, religion and more.

The Life LYNXCONNECT project was present with the exhibition of two scientific papers: “Improving Connectivity Between Populations of the Endangered Iberian Lynx/mejorando la conectividad entre poblaciones del amenazado Lince ibérico” and “Measures taken to bring Iberian lynx back to the brink of extinction/Medidas tomadas para devolver al lince ibérico del borde de la extinción”. These papers provided an overview of the past, present and future of Iberian Lynx conservation on the Iberian Peninsula.
