This was not a decision we made lightly, and we apologize for any inconvenience to those who may have already begun to make scheduling arrangements for this event. This decision was made solely for the purpose of making the conference more accessible to African practitioners and researchers by accommodating the local holiday schedule in Kenya.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The conference will now take place from&nbsp;<strong>February 16<sup>th<\/sup>-19<sup>th<\/sup>, 2020<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>at the&nbsp;<strong>Brackenhurst Conference and Training Center&nbsp;<\/strong>in Limuru, Kenya. Please see below for notable scheduling adjustments, or visit the conference website for more info.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Women\u2019s Leadership Training will be held prior to the conference from the 14<sup>th<\/sup>-16<sup>th&nbsp;<\/sup>(arrival on the 13<sup>th<\/sup>).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have also revised our prior theme of \u201cCollaboration that Works\u201d to emphasize our focus on the current critical issue of exclusion in African conservation. The new theme for Pathways 2020 will be&nbsp;<strong>\u201cOpen the Door to Diverse Voices\u201d<\/strong>. We will examine the costs of excluding diverse voices in our decision-making teams and conservation programs and the benefits we will gain by their inclusion. We hope to provide a closer examination of how balanced leadership teams, effective collaborations, and diverse voices improve conservation impacts. We will also consider the individual and organizational change required to create an environment for innovative, long lasting solutions to address the complex crises of biodiversity loss and climate change and their impacts across Africa.
