On 5-9 September 2022, it will again be South Africa’s turn to host MEDECOS, and the FYNBOS FORUM (www.fynbosforum.org.za) - our local affiliation of researchers, managers and other stakeholders that meets annually to discuss the biology, conservation and management of fynbos ecosystems - will be organising and hosting the event.

The theme of MEDECOS 2022 is "Partnerships for Global Change". Conference registration (online and in-person rates apply)and the call for abstracts are open – please visit the conference website for full details at http://medecos2022.org/
