'Conservation conflicts: strategies for coping with a changing world', Aberdeen, UK
19 August 2011 - 19 August 2011
United Kingdom
An event on the topic of 'Conservation conflicts: strategies for coping with a changing world' will take place from 19 to 24 August 2011 in Aberdeen, UK.
As human pressures on the planet increase, biodiversity is a growing concern around the world. Changing patterns in land use, over-exploitation, pollution, climate change and the threat posed by invasive species, all challenge the way that biological diversity is managed and conserved. Consequently, there are increasing numbers of conflicts between those interested in conserving species and those with alternative goals, interests or values.
These conflicts occur over a range of scales from the local management of single species to international conflicts over the management of resources. They are multi-dimensional, involving ecological, social and economic interests and operate within political and legal frameworks.
The event programme will include plenary sessions, core and short paper sessions, poster sessions, panel and working group sessions and a policy forum.For further information, please visit: http://www.aces-2011.org/(opens in new window)
