Two years after the historical UN Biodiversity COP15 that led to the creation of the Kumming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), COP16 will be taking place in Cali, Colombia between October 21 and November 1 of 2024.
@StephODonnell, @TaliaSpeaker, and @Adrien_Pajot from the WILDLABS team are attending from the 22-31 of October. If you'll be there, we'd love to see you!
Our Innovation Expo Booth
From October 24-26, we'll have a booth in the Blue Zone at the Innovation Expo. This is a great opportunity to meet us in person, but more importantly, a great chance to highlight the technology and challenges our sector is addressing. If you are interested in presenting your technology or research at our booth through a demo, please reach out to @Adrien_Pajot via direct message or at adrien.pajot@wildlabs.net.
