Honduras May 2027
Welcome to the International Conference for Women Birders 2027
We are delighted to welcome you to the International Conference for Women Birders, to be held in May 2027 in Honduras.
This international gathering will bring together women birders and other birders from many parts of the world, including Central America, South America, North America, Canada, Africa, Europe, and Asia. It will provide a unique platform for birders, guides, conservationists, researchers, tourism professionals, students, and nature enthusiasts to share knowledge, build friendships, and strengthen global partnerships in birding and conservation.
The main host of this conference will be the Government of Honduras, whose commitment to conservation, women empowerment, sustainable tourism, and community development makes Honduras a fitting and inspiring destination for this important event.
Honduras is blessed with rich biodiversity, outstanding birdlife, beautiful landscapes, and a passionate birding community. During the conference, participants will also have the opportunity to join the Honduras birding community in the Global Big Day, contributing to a worldwide celebration of birds, citizen science, and international cooperation.
This conference is more than a meeting; it is a global movement to recognise the role of women in birding, promote conservation leadership, create opportunities in nature-based tourism, and inspire the next generation of birders.
Welcome to Honduras 2027 — where women, birders, conservation, and global friendship come together.

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
Conference FAQ's
May 2027
Honduras
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
