We are glad to announce the next IUCN SSC OSG 16th International Otter Congress “Transforming Research Into Policy – United at Crossroads”
The Congress will be held in Lima, Peru, on 24-28 February 2025.
The Congress will held in person.
Peru, a megadiverse country, boasts the majestic Andes Mountains, the vast Amazon rainforest with its rivers and lakes, and a rich marine ecosystem. It is home to both the smallest and the largest otter species in the Americas, Pteronura brasiliensis and Lontra felina.
The capital city, Lima, will host the 16th International Otter Congress at the Universidad Científica del Sur (UCSUR). The university provides rooms for meetings and auditorium access, creating an ideal setting for our conference.
