The ATBC is pleased to invite young conservation scientists to apply for the Luis F. Bacardi Advances in Tropical Conservation Award.

This $300 award, which will be awarded each year for the best oral presentation on a conservation-related theme at the ATBC Annual Meeting, is open to individuals with a doctorate who completed their Ph.D. no more than five years previously.

The Bacardi award, provided to the ATBC by an endowment from the Lubee Bat Conservancy, is designed to foster high-quality conservation science in the tropics. In addition to the honorarium, the winner of the award will have his/her abstract and photo published in Biotropica.
