We are delighted to invite you to participate in the LepSoc Africa Annual Conference 2025. As part of our ongoing commitment to the study and conservation of Afrotropical butterflies and moths, this year’s event will spotlight the critical role Lepidoptera play in safeguarding biodiversity and guiding ecological restoration.
LepSoc Africa serves as a dynamic forum for researchers, citizen scientists, and conservationists dedicated to understanding and protecting Lepidoptera across Africa. The 2025 conference will feature a range of informative presentations showcasing the latest research on moths and butterflies, as well as exploring how this data can be applied to conserving and restoring threatened ecosystems.
Together, we aim to protect habitats rich in biodiversity from escalating ecological threats—through rigorous science, collaborative action, and public engagement.
