Center For Conservation Biology Inc

Education programs: ccb's education programs focus on undergraduate and graduate training, public outreach, and public engagement and citizen learning. Since the fall of 1992, ccb has involved hundreds of university students in direct research. In 2024, ccb supported 6 undergraduate students to participate in field projects. Ccb biologists made several public presentations to public and research audiences. These presentations have covered a diverse range of topics that provide timely information to move conservation awareness forward. We have contributed to more than 25 media stories focused on public outreach on sensitive conservation topics. We have published several articles within scientific journals that have contributed to the management and research communities' understanding of species of conservation concern, public policy, and land-use. We produce a quarterly electronic newsletter that is distributed to more than 10,500 individuals and a printed annual report that is mailed to more than 700 individuals.

Information/advisory services: ccb has provided thousands of pro bono services to government agencies, ngos, and corporate partners focused on species conservation. The virginia bald eagle nest locator alone receives more than 30,000 visits per year as part of the permitting process related to eagle management. Ccb biologists field dozens of phone calls, messages, and meetings per week that are intended to assist government agencies in making appropriate conservation decisions. During 2024 we made several out of state trips to assist with conservation meetings and have given several online presentations.
