So far ten (10) of these biennial Meetings or Congresses were held in the following cities on the South American mainland. In 2014 the Congress will be held for the first time outside of the South American continent.
We therefore aim for the widest participation possible not only from South America but from Central America, the Caribbean and North American Institutions and Zoos interested in Amazonian Animal Wildlife.

The Congress will have three (3) official languages (English, Portuguese and Spanish) and we shall like to welcome you all. The work of the CIMFAUNA and the outcome of the previous 10 congresses over the last 20+ years can be viewed on the following website: www.comfauna.org.
