Impact On The Ground

Capacity Building Matters

The TBA gives scientists the skills, support and confidence to manage natural resources in tropical regions effectively and sustainably. We do this through tailor-made courses coupled with long-term support. We work together with local partners and a global network of experts.

Our training works because it is relevant and innovative, building the capacity of conservation scientists to benefit communities and biodiversity. The TBA stands out because the scientists we train go on to make a positive impact to conservation on the ground.

The Tropical Biology Association has launched the careers of over 2,000 environmental scientists, half from 29 countries in Africa and from Asia. 100% of them still tell us about their progress 10 years after their TBA training. Many are now leading conservationists, working in research, government and NGOs.
