ATBC conference Declarations are useful tools for conveying pressing tropical conservation issues with a global audience. We surveyed media and social media posts for the 16 ATBC Declarations and found that there is considerable scope to increase social media coverage of Declarations via mainstream platforms. We present five case study Declarations that had a range of outcomes for the conservation issue of concern, and present five criteria to assist with preparation and delivery of future Declarations.
