𝙋𝙖𝙯, faculty member of the College of Forestry and Environmental Sciences, was invited as one of the five featured speakers during the specialized workshop “𝘌𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘖𝘶𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘐𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘛𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘉𝘪𝘰𝘥𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘺: 𝘈 𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘏𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘴-𝘖𝘯 𝘚𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯” held as part of the 𝟲𝟮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗧𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗕𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝗔𝗧𝗕𝗖 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲) in 𝗝𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗴, 𝗫𝗶𝘀𝗵𝘂𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗮 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲, 𝗬𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗮𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗮, on June 28–July 3, 2026.

Dr. Paz presented the university’s 𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻–𝗠𝗮𝗰𝗮𝗾𝘂𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗢𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗜𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗲, 𝗕𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗻 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆, highlighting the 𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗦𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻–𝗠𝗮𝗰𝗮𝗾𝘂𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 (𝗛𝗨𝗠𝗔𝗖𝗘) 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺. Her presentation showcased community-based approaches that integrate conservation science, education, and stakeholder engagement to promote sustainable coexistence between humans and wildlife.

Following the mini talks, Dr. Paz joined an interactive workshop with international participants to develop innovative conservation education strategies and explore opportunities for adapting outreach approaches across different institutional and ecological contexts. The activity fostered knowledge exchange, interdisciplinary collaboration, and potential partnerships among conservation educators and researchers worldwide.

A significant outcome of the conference was the establishment of new international collaborations. 𝗗𝗿. 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘀 𝗔𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘁 of the University of Montpellier, workshop organizer and Dr. Paz’s host, expressed interest in future collaborative initiatives involving conservation education and scientific publications. Meanwhile, 𝗗𝗿. 𝗔𝗻𝗻 𝗘. 𝗥𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗹 of Iowa State University invited Dr. Paz to participate in the OCELOTS (Network for Facilitating Online Content for Experiential Learning of Tropical Systems) online module development workshop in September 2026. The program will support the creation of research-based educational modules using innovative teaching approaches and digital learning tools.

This opportunity aligns with the proposed MATSING-Skwela Project, which aims to develop localized learning modules on human–macaque coexistence and conservation for elementary and secondary learners in Sumile, Butuan City.

ATBC 2026 served as a valuable platform for global knowledge exchange, strengthening partnerships among scientists and educators committed to advancing tropical biodiversity conservation. Through these emerging collaborations, Dr. Paz continues to contribute to innovative research, education, and extension initiatives toward a more sustainable future for biodiversity.
