The Kruger National Park is set to play host to leading scientists from around the world, with 230 delegates representing over 20 countries!
Kruger National Park, South Africa (04 March 2025) — The Kruger National Park is gearing up to play host to scientists from around the world in early March under the banner of the 22nd Savanna Science Networking Meeting!
230 Delegates representing 21 countries and 91 different scientific and conservation groups will travel to the heart of South African wildlife from 3 to 6 March.
Here, specialists in different niches of science, from conservation to researchers, will gather under this year’s theme, ‘Re-imagining Conservation: Healthy, Sustainable, Climate-resilient Savannas that Benefit People’.
The idea for a gathering like this largely originated in Kruger National Park, thanks to scientists who were working on river-related issues there decades ago.
“This meeting is now considered the premier international savanna science conference covering socio-ecological research taking place in savannas across the globe,” issued Spokesperson JP Louw on behalf of SANParks.
“The conference format allows for dialogue and discussion on ecological science and conservation matters, both formally and informally in a spectacular venue, shaping our collective understanding and seeding future research collaborations and projects to address key knowledge gaps.”
Topics of discussion will include matters like ‘savannah conservation in the age of artificial intelligence’ and ‘building sustainable connections to natural and cultural heritage inside parks’.
