On behalf of the International Federation of Mammalogists and the Australian Mammal Society Inc., the Organising Committee is pleased to invite you to attend the 12th International Mammalogical Congress, to be held in July 2017 in a unique part of the world: Perth, in Australia’s southwest.
At a time when the IUCN has identified that 25% of mammal species are at risk, the need for continued global mammal research and management strengthens. Addressing this need requires a strong inter-disciplinary knowledge base.
The International Mammalogical Congress is the premier international mammal conference, sponsored every four years by the IFM. It provides an important forum for professional mammalogists wishing to remain Wallabyupdated on the latest marine and terrestrial mammal conservation topics, research concepts and techniques. IMC12 will bring together the diverse global community of professionals and students in the field of mammalian biology and facilitate collaboration through our international network of practitioners.
The theme of IMC12 is Advances in mammalogy in a changing world, encouraging discussion of emerging themes, future challenges and novel solutions in mammal biology, conservation and management.
IMC12 will identify and discuss leading research and scholarship in mammalogy, together with the challenges of mammal conservation and management. Prominent international speakers will provide fresh perspectives on current topics relevant to mammal research and management. The Congress will encourage active participation, including focused workshops, and will identify pathways for long-term mammal research and conservation.
The IMC12 Organising Committee looks forward to welcoming delegates from throughout the world to this unique venue ‘down under’. The Congress will be held from Sunday 9th to Friday 14th July 2017.
