Welcome to the 16th International Conference on Global Resource Conservation (ICGRC) 2025, hosted by the Department of Biology, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Universitas Brawijaya, Indonesia.

With the theme “From Genomes to Ecosystems: Solutions for Sustainable Natural Resource Conservation”, this year’s conference aims to bridge the gap between molecular biology, ecological science, and resource management in addressing one of the most urgent challenges of our time: sustaining biodiversity and ecosystem function amidst accelerating environmental change.

We are now in an era where interdisciplinary science and data integration are crucial. From genome sequencing and environmental DNA (eDNA) to remote sensing and AI-assisted modeling, modern science has opened new pathways for understanding, monitoring, and conserving the natural world. This conference will serve as a forum for scientists, policymakers, educators, practitioners, and students to share insights, innovations, and actionable solutions to conserve our planet’s natural resources across molecular to ecosystem scales.

By fostering collaboration across fields and sectors, ICGRC 2025 aims to advance science-based conservation strategies that are not only effective but also inclusive, scalable, and adaptable to local and global contexts.

We invite you to be a part of this vibrant community of thinkers and change-makers. Let us work together to shape a sustainable future for all life on Earth.
