Call for abstracts

We have the pleasure to invite you to submit an abstract for a presentation to the First regional African Ecosystem Service Partnership Conference. The conference will host many sessions around ESP's thematic working groups, sector-oriented sessions and open topic sessions.

The sessions address important topics of ecosystem services integrating science, practice and policy perspectives. There are more than 20 sessions between which you can choose the one that is to your liking.

The online abstract submission system is open from 15 July to 4 September.
