Species ID Skills Virtual Symposium with The Biological Recording Company

Thursday 20th June, 2024 - 10:00 am - 1:00 pm

Online

Species identification skills are essential for taxonomists, museum collection managers, biological recorders, conservationists and ecologists. The ability to accurately determine plants, animals and fungi to species level ranges from relatively easy for some groups, to highly technical and specialised in others.

This Species ID Skills Virtual Symposium will bring together conservationists, environmental educators, biological recording schemes and more to discuss the challenges and opportunities relating to developing species ID skills in both professional and non-professional audiences. We’ll explore how training, ID guides, assessments and emerging technologies can be used to develop these skills in both professional and non-professional audiences.

The presentations will be recorded and shared with those who booked alongside Q&A transcripts and relevant links following the event via a password-protected website.
