The Nature FIRST Conference has concluded but the impact continues…

Thank you to everyone who joined us at the Nature FIRST Final Conference in Rhenen. While the event marked the formal end of the Nature FIRST project, it also sparked new networks, shared powerful insights, and opened doors for continued collaboration in biodiversity conservation.

Over two energising days, participants explored key challenges and solutions across:

• Biodiversity Monitoring

• Human-Wildlife Conflict Solutions (including wildlife radars and forensic techniques)

• Habitat Mapping & Monitoring

• Knowledge Graphs for Smarter Conservation

We’re keeping that momentum going and you can, too:

• Stay Connected with Like-Minded Professionals: Join the European Wildlife Forensic Network on LinkedIn to continue the conversation, connect with panellists and participants, and explore opportunities for collaboration. Visit wildlifeforensic.com for more information.
