Note from the CoEB Director:
Welcome to the Center newsletter, where you will read about the activities we have been involved in
recently, including research projects, research trainings, and seminars. The big news is that we were
approved as a Category 2 Center under the auspices of UNESCO at the November 2021 UNESCO General
Conference. We are in the process of laying the foundation to launch the CoEB as a Category 2 Center,
working closely with University of Rwanda leadership, the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of
Environment, and we are excited to step into a new phase for the CoEB. We hope you will join us in meeting
our objectives. This is also a big year for me personally as I fulfill my term as President of the Association for
Tropical Biology and Conservation (ATBC). This international scientific and professional society was founded in
1963, with the mission to promote research, education, and communication about the world's tropical
ecosystems. There are over 900 members from 67 countries, practitioners engaged in science, conservation,
development, and environmental policy. ATBC holds annual meetings, publishes the scientific journal
Biotropica, and is engaged in conservation and capacity building activities worldwide. I hope to encourage
you to get involved in this great organization in the coming months.
Thank you, Beth Kaplin, Director of CoEB
