Tropical Biology Association

TBA training enables scientists, project managers and educators, working in the tropics, to manage and safeguard biodiversity, long term. It’s what we call capacity building for conservation. Our approach is unique because we provide all of the following to everyone we train: Tailored training that is relevant and practical Learner-centred teaching by local and international specialists Follow-up support to ensure new skills are applied Active networks for on-going collaboration and exchange of best practice Capacity building begins by inspiring people. So far, we have launched and supported the careers of over 2,000 conservation champions: half of them from 29 countries in Africa and Madagascar. Our alumni are applying their skills and knowledge in project management, policy development, research and education. They work for government agencies, NGOs, the public and private sectors. Every one of them has a different story about how the TBA has changed their life.
