HONORARY FELLOWS

In 1963, the Council of the Association for Tropical Biology and Conservation (earlier known as ATB) established the election of Honorary Fellows as "persons of long distinguished service to tropical biology." To date 71 Honorary Fellows from numerous countries have been elected by the Council. Recently elected Fellows include Peter Shaw Ashton (United Kingdom - 2006) and Wu Zheng-Yi (China - 2006), Paulo Nogueira-Neto (Brazil - 2005), and John W. Terborgh (USA - 2005). This is the highest award given by the Association.

Any member of ATB wishing to submit a nomination for the Honorary Fellow Award should submit a cover letter with a short, one-two page justification of the nomination (including a curriculum vitae of the nominee) to the Chair of the Nominating Committee who is the current ATBC Past-President. Honorary Fellows are then selected by the ATBC Council at their annual meeting.

The following is a list, in alphabetical order, of all the Honorary Fellows of the Society, including their country and year of recognition.
