An exciting opportunity for students/faculty to take part in the 11th annual Canadian Herpetological Society conference on September 15 to 18 in Ottawa, Ontario.
As you know the CHS mandate is to foster research and conservation of Canada’s reptiles and amphibians. The annual conference will be held in person at Carleton University, with an option to attend the talks virtually.
The CHS conference starts with a half-day workshop and informal meet and greet on Friday, followed by two days of talks and the annual general meeting. CHS is also hosting a banquet dinner on Saturday and the conference wraps up with a field trip to the Queen’s University Biological Station (QUBs) on Monday.
If you have a conservation project, natural history observations, or research findings related to Canada’s reptiles or amphibians, you are welcomed to submit an abstract for a poster or platform presentation. Platform and poster sessions during the conference cover all aspects of amphibian and reptile conservation biology and herpetological research (e.g., population dynamics, genetics, diseases, commercial harvest, status assessment, recovery plans, monitoring, habitat protection, etc.). Presentations on citizen science, education and ethics projects are also welcomed.
