Hello, fellow WILDLAB-ers! I'm Mandy, your current Human-Wildlife Coexistence Group Leader! :)
I am heading to the ICTC conference in Peru next week and while reviewing the amazing topics and sessions that are on the docket, I thought this could be an excellent opportunity for me to help drive our community reach BEYOND the boundaries of Peru!
Here's what I mean.....
- If you are unable to attend, but have thoughts, questions, concerns, etc, related to any of the content or topics in the outlined WORKSHOPS or PRIMARY SESSIONS, please share them here for me! I'd like to gather as many of your questions and thoughts as possible over the next week, and do my best to see if I can get them answered for you!
- Of course, I can only be in one place at one time, so I will address the items based on the context and sessions I attend, and I may not be able to get ALL of them answered....but I will 100% push for as many as possible! AND I will absolutely mention your name to give YOU credit for the questions/thoughts, etc!
- I will prepare an article or post, to share back into our Human-Wildlife Coexistence group, soon after I return home from the conference.
- My goal is to represent you, us, our Community, while present at the conference.
Soooooo.... if you'd like me to share your thoughts or questions, take a few minutes to review the agenda, check out the PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPS page as well, and respond here with comments for me to start compiling! I appreciate you, all!

That's a great idea @MandyEyrich ! Similar to your idea, I wrote up an article with geospatial highlights from ICTC 2026: https://wildlabs.net/en/article/wildlabs-geospatial-group-ictc-2026.
Is the Human-Wildlife Coexistence article available yet? Would love to read it and share it with colleagues at Fauna & Flora.
