We are excited to invite you to the Nature FIRST* Conference! Over the past 2.5 years, the Nature FIRST partners have worked together to develop operational tools for monitoring, detecting and preventing threats to nature conservation.

By integrating ecological sciences, forensic techniques, and environmental monitoring (both satellite-based and on-site), we have created innovative solutions to support conservation efforts. At the conference, you’ll get a chance to see these tools in action, hear from the people who tested them, and connect with other brilliant partners working in the field.

This conference isn’t just about presentations. It’s about interaction, hands-on learning, and building meaningful partnerships with leading innovators in the field.

At the Nature FIRST Conference you will get:
✔ New insights into data collection methodologies and tools
✔ Opportunity to directly network with pioneers of nature conservation innovations and new partnerships
✔ Hands-on learning experience through workshops and demonstrations
✔ The chance to be part of meaningful discussions on hot topics for nature conservation

Take your team with you and
✔ Improve the efficiency within your conservation work
✔ Make strategic decisions to develop new solutions
✔ Collaborate with others on new or current projects

Hosted in collaboration with Bears in Mind, a Dutch foundation providing a sanctuary for rescued bears at Het Berenbos in Ouwehands Dierenpark, this conference is a unique gathering that will make an unforgettable experience.
