About us
Who we are
The Tropical Biology Association is a small NGO based in the David Attenborough Building in Cambridge, UK, with a sister office in Nairobi, Kenya. It gives scientists the skills, support and confidence to manage natural resources in tropical regions effectively and sustainably. We do this through field courses and training workshops in Africa and south-east Asia, alongside online training. TBA works with a global network of experts.
The Tropical Biology Association has launched the careers of over 2,000 environmental scientists, half from Africa and from Asia. Many are now leading conservationists, working in research, government and NGOs.
