The Cambridge Conservation Forum (CCF) exists to strengthen links and develop new synergies across the diverse community of conservation practitioners and researchers based in and around Cambridge, working at local, national and international levels.

CCF is a founder member of the Cambridge Conservation Initiative (CCI), which grew out of long standing collaborations between Cambridge Conservation Forum member organisations.  These organisations remain important contributing members of CCF, as well as forging more formal working arrangements in collaborative projects as part of the CCI.

Over forty organisations are currently members of CCF .

CCF aims to:

  • foster contacts between people in different organisations;
  • broaden awareness of the exceptional pool of local expertise and activities; and
  • encourage the development of joint initiatives aimed at tackling common problems.

Membership is open to not-for-profit organisations, and institutions, including governmental bodies, and universities involved in conservation policy, practice and research.

Individuals with an active interest in conservation research, policy or advice but who are not in a member organisation may become “Friends” of the Forum.

Successful CCF Annual Symposium 2010

Attendance at this year’s  very successful Annual Symposium on 8th January was full despite the snow.  It gave CCF members and others the opportunity to share topical aspects of recent research and activities with the wider CCF membership, and to highlight important issues for the coming year (final programme).  Many of the presentations from the Symposium will shortly be available here for download. 

 Many thanks to the organising committee.  We look forward to next year’s Symposium!
