CENTRAL INDIAN LANDSCAPE SYMPOSIUM
CILS6 is taking place soon!
The Sixth Central Indian Landscape Symposium (CILS6) will take place from 7-10 January, 2025, at Olive Resort Sillari Pench in Maharashtra.
At CILS, we dive deep into our work, with late-night torch-lit poster discussions and restoration priorities debated even during dinner.
Stay tuned on our social media platforms for updates, general information, and highlights from this year’s symposium! Until then, take a “scroll” through past CILS events and explore session videos, presentations, and more on our website.
Poster call for CILS6 is now closed!
Thank you for your submissions! The extended poster deadline for CILS6 closed on 10 September 2024. For those who submitted, the Science Committee is currently voting on your abstracts and you should expect to hear from us soon. This year's theme, Jugalbandi, invites us to explore the duality and interplay between people’s livelihoods and ecological integrity in Central India. We are excited to bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss innovative ways to conserve wildlife habitat while achieving development goals and improving welfare for people in the landscape!
