Abstract (EN): Angola is a country full of opportunities. Few countries offer more exciting prospects for young scientists to discover and document the rich biodiversity, complex ecosystem processes and undescribed species of plants and animals that are to be found in its amazing diversity of landscapes and seascapes. The current expanding support of the Angolan government and of international partners is unprecedented, and the positive response from young students ensures the growth of a new generation of biodiversity researchers and conservation professionals. Based on a synthesis of biodiversity research and conservation activities of the past century, we outline opportunities, approaches and priorities for a strengthened collaborative research and conservation agenda. © The Author(s) 2019.
