III International Congress of Biotechnology and Neotropical Ecosystems
Keywords:
biodiversity and global change, biotechnology, earth sciences, sustainable construction, ichthyology, One HealthSynopsis
The Proceedings of the Third International Congress on Biotechnology and Neotropical Ecosystems (CIBEN 2025) synthesize the knowledge generated regarding the conservation and sustainable management of biodiversity in the Ecuadorian Amazon, addressing challenges such as habitat loss and climate change. The main objective of this meeting, held at the Ikiam Amazonian Regional University, was to strengthen the dialogue between science and society by integrating biotechnological, ecological, and socio-environmental approaches. Six thematic symposia were organized (Biodiversity and Global Change, Biotechnology, One Health, Earth Sciences, Sustainable Construction, and Ichthyology), where oral presentations and posters were evaluated based on criteria of scientific rigor, originality, and potential impact. Findings were presented on cryptic diversity in amphibians (Pristimantis complex) and crustaceans, ecological niche modeling for snakes in the face of climate change, and the genetic characterization of isolated populations of Crocodylus acutus. Likewise, the importance of technological tools such as the Ikiam Biobank and the csv2xyd software for managing big data in biodiversity was highlighted. It was emphasized that sustainability in the Neotropics depends on inter-institutional cooperation and the integration of local knowledge with academic research. In this context, CIBEN 2025 has established itself as a platform for developing nature-based solutions, promoting a vision of development that balances biodiversity conservation with the resilience of Amazonian communities.
