It is with great pleasure that we invite you to join us for the 14th International Congress of Orthopterology in Mérida, Yucatán, México from October 15-19, 2023, in the Hotel “El Conquistador.”
This congress will be organized for the first time in Mexico under the subtitle “Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Management.” The Congress will be organized in collaboration with National-International Plant Protection Agencies and teaching-research institutions of Mexico.
As part of the Congress, we will visit and explore aspects of the ancient and wise Mayan culture. The Yucatán Peninsula, located in southeastern Mexico, is a tropical area, full of biodiversity, knowledge, food, and joy. The logo of the 14th Congress features a locust perched on the Mayan symbol of “zaak” (locust), which the Mayans associated with hunger, drought, and death. At the front of the symbol is corn, an important crop for the Mayans, and the Mayan number 14 (4 points above two lines). Watch for more information on the Congress website, which will be set up in due course.
