Biodiversity in a corporate landscape: what can we afford to destroy? - a ZSL Science and Conservation Event.
Growth in the global population coupled with an increase in consumption has fuelled demand for natural resources, such as metals, agriculture and forest products. Conservationists are comfortable identifying species and ecosystems that need to be protected, but are extremely uncomfortable advising on areas that are less important for conservation and, therefore, more appropriate for conversion. Mining, forestry, oil palm and agricultural companies are increasingly turning to conservation organizations for assistance in identifying High Conservation Value areas and how best to carve up the landscape they have been assigned to develop.
Currently, there is little coherence in the conservation communityâs response as conservation value is interpreted in many different ways. This meeting will explore how the conservation community can develop a more consistent approach to identifying High Conservation Value areas and better advise industry.
Organised by Janine Griffiths, Conservation Programmes, ZSL.
This event in the 'Wildlife Conservation' series will begin at 6.00pm (doors from 5.00pm) and talks are scheduled to finish at 7.30pm; admission is free and open to everyone (no advance booking or registration required). This event will be held in the ZSL Meeting Rooms and seats will be on a first-come, first-served basis. A dinner with the speakers will follow this event and places must be booked in advance. A dinner booking form will be provided from the ZSL website shortly; please download for further information.
ZSL Science and Conservation Events: An essential part of ZSL's work is to communicate relevant, high-quality zoological and conservation science. The integrated ZSL Science and Conservation Events programme includes Symposia, and the new 'Wildlife Conservation' and 'Communicating Science' series. Topics cover a wide variety of zoological and conservation themes, and international experts present and discuss their research
