‘Conservation on a Grand Scale: what, why and where?’

A scene-setting exploration of a 'landscape scale approach' to conservation

This scene-setting presentation will explore what we mean by a 'landscape scale approach' to conservation. What do we mean by big areas? What are the ecological values of this approach? What are the opportunities and constraints and do they differ in uplands and lowlands, in the UK, Europe and other parts of the world? Is this 're-wilding' or 21st century conservation management? This will be an inter-active session. We will provide the ecological theatre; quite how the evening develops is up to the audience.
