Since 2016, we have organized international conferences <\/strong>where students, scientists, and managers working on the fauna of the Caribbean islands<\/strong> can meet.<\/p>\n

During the odd years, our \u201cCaribaea Initiative Research & Conservation Conference<\/strong>\u201d gathers researchers and conservationists focused on the study, protection, and management of Caribbean wildlife. This unique meeting in the Caribbean is renowned as a forum for discussing and sharing a vision for preserving animal biodiversity in the Caribbean<\/strong> while strengthening local expertise. The scientific programme features sessions on various aspects of the study and conservation of Caribbean fauna<\/strong>, and mini-symposia on specific topics. Additionally, the Dawn AT Phillip award is given to the best student talk. Winners of previous years: Rachel Batista-Alvarez (2018), Christopher Cambrone (2019) and Carla Ivette Rivera-P\u00e9rez (2025).<\/p>\n

During the even years, our \u201cCaribaea Initiative Training and Reinforcement Workshop<\/strong>\u201d focuses on developing foundational and technical skills in conservation, particularly addressing recent theoretical and methodological advances<\/strong>. This event is particularly intended for Caribbean graduate and post-graduate students, as well as Caribbean researchers in their early careers. During the workshop, we also present the \"Best Poster Award.\" Winners of previous years: Sergio del Castillo (2024).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
