The International Congress of Conservation Biology (ICCB) is an important event that gathers researches, students, environmental educators, and other conservation parties in order to exchange ideas and talk about the existing connection between: the biodiversity conservation and sciences such as genetics, ecology, biogeography, anthropology, history, psychology, and economy, among others.

On this 28th edition, the RLE will participate with two symposiums and a workshop, where the role of the RLE in international and national policies will be analyzed and new perspectives will be provided. To this effect, the strengths and weaknesses of the different approaches will be addressed to have a better integration of the efforts of the involved parties.

The RLE of the UICN will present the assessments carried out during the last years, the achieved accomplishments, and the future perspective in the two symposiums named: “New Tool for the Assessment and Monitoring of Ecosystems”, and “The Red Lists in Latin America: from National Efforts to a Regional Strategy”.
