Conference invitation
We have a great pleasure to invite you to attend the 23rd conference of the European Bird Census Council (EBCC) called "Bird Numbers 2025: Synergies in monitoring for conservation".
The conference will be organised by the Univeristy of Latvia with support from the Latvia Ornithological Society. EBCC conferences are held triennially, gathering researchers and conservationists engaged in bird monitoring, research, and conservation from Europe and beyond. Talks in the conference encompass a wide array, including outcomes from recent bird monitoring initiatives, waterbird counts, and atlases. Additionally, the conference topics include investigations on the drivers of population change, demographics, and distribution patterns among European bird species. The effectiveness of conservation measures and governmental policies, advancements in technology, methodologies, and analytical approaches, the utilisation of birds as environmental indicators, and the evolution of citizen science initiatives are also featured.
The conference will be held from 31 March to 4 April 2025 in Riga, the capital of Latvia. The venue is the House of Nature of the Academic Centre of the University of Latvia. Mid-conference excursions are planned to various locations in the central Latvia.
We believe that the upcoming EBCC conference will be both successful and inspiring, and we eagerly await the opportunity to welcome you in Riga.
