World Environment Day

🌍🌳 World Environment Day 2026 | Science in the Forest 🔬 This World Environment Day, we celebrate the power of science, education, and collaboration in protecting one of the world's most important ecosystems: the Congo Basin. Last week, SPAC Conservation Research hosted the inaugural Science in the Forest International Lecture Series in Brazzaville, bringing together leading scientists, conservation practitioners, academics, and over 300 university students to explore the future of conservation in Africa. We were especially proud to showcase the work of our PhD students, Ndelani Nkalla, Rabbi Missilou-Boukaka, and Mack-Zola Arnaud, whose research is helping build the next generation of African scientific leaders. 🌿 Together, we're investing in knowledge, innovation, and partnerships to safeguard the Congo Basin for future generations. #WorldEnvironmentDay #ScienceInTheForest #CongoBasin #ConservationResearch #Biodiversity #AfricanScience #OneHealth #EnvironmentalLeadership #SPACConservationResearch
