Dear Members of the Zoological Society of Japan

The ICZ Congress 2020, which was scheduled to be held in Cape Town this July, has been postponed and will now take place from November 21 to 25, 2021, as outlined below.
I am here to inform you.

Dear Colleagues

It is with regret that we have to inform you of the Local Organising Committee’s decision to postpone the ICZ Congress 2020 that was to be hosted in July this year.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic that has had a dire impact on countries and communities around the world, as well as the most recent announcement by the President of South Africa, prohibiting meetings of larger than 100 people, as well as both international and national travel, we felt it appropriate to postpone the conference.

In order to ensure that we allow for the COVID-19 pandemic to be dealt with appropriately and for matters to return to normality, the conference has been postponed to Sunday, 21 November to Thursday, 25 November 2021.

More information and detail will be shared with you in due course regarding registration, abstract submission and other important logistical arrangements for the conference.

We trust that this decision carries your approval and support.

ICZ Local Organising Committee
