Inaugural Meeting of the Society for Conservation Biology Australasia Section:
"Biodiversity Extinction Crisis Conference - A Pacific Response"
Tuesday 10 – Thursday 12 July 2007
Biomedical Theatres, The University of New South Wales, Sydney
The world faces its sixth great extinction event, driven mainly by humans. Our region faces special challenges including: island ecology, rising sea levels, changing rainfall and land and water degradation. These issues are overlaid by the general problems of habitat loss and fragmentation, invasive species, pollution and over harvesting. This Conference identifies the major problems for biodiversity conservation in our region, existing and potential solutions and links to the global biodiversity initiatives. Real opportunities can be found in the nexus between conservation science and policy-makers, managers and the community. There are five major themes: Regional Challenges (particular issues for the world) Managing threatening process of universal importance Case studies of conservation in action, including biodiversity monitoring and assessment Conservation science and policy Conservation science and the community (non-government organisations, indigenous people) A diverse and balanced program is being organised, with international and regional Keynote presenters presenting a range of topics. Abstracts for proffered oral presentations and poster presentations will be requested. The Conference is aimed at scientists, managers and policy makers in our fields.
