Dear Friends and Supporters,
On behalf of the Board of the International Conference for Women Birders, I would like to extend our sincere apologies to all who had hoped to attend the 2nd International Conference for Women Birders, scheduled to take place in Costa Rica in September 2025.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the event will no longer be held in Costa Rica as initially planned. We deeply regret any inconvenience this change may cause to your travel plans, schedules, or expectations.
Please be assured that the Board is actively working with another country in Central America to host the conference. We are in the final stages of confirming the new location and dates, and will communicate these details very soon.
We remain committed to creating a truly enriching and memorable gathering where women birders from around the world can connect, learn from one another, and inspire each other. Your patience, understanding, and continued support mean the world to us as we make the necessary adjustments to deliver an even stronger conference experience.
Thank you for standing with us, and we look forward to welcoming you to the 2nd International Conference for Women Birders in its new venue.
With gratitude,
Herbert Byaruhanga

IC4WB 2023
The inaugural International Conference for Women Birders (IC4WB) was held in Uganda in December 2023 and was a resounding success, drawing over 300 participants, 80% of whom were women. This landmark event showcased Uganda's rich avian biodiversity and significantly contributed to promoting birding and conservation efforts. Inspired by this success, the Board decided to host the second IC4WB in Costa Rica in September 2025, continuing the mission of empowering women in birding and conservation globally

Men are invited to participate in the conference for women birders because it promotes inclusivity and gender diversity within the birding community. Involvement in such conferences nurtures a supportive environment that stimulates collaboration, understanding, and recognition of women's roles in birding and conservation. This initiative aids in dispelling gender stereotypes, fostering the exchange of knowledge, and contributes to the establishment of a more inclusive birding community. Here, both men and women can effectively collaborate for the preservation of avian habitats
