Global Land Project - ACES 2011: Conservation Conflicts: Strategies for coping with a changing world

Date and Time: 
Mon, 08/22/2011 (All day) - Wed, 08/24/2011 (All day)
Location: 
Aberdeen, Scotland, UK

Changing patterns in land use, over-exploitation, pollution, climate change and the threat posed by invasive species, all challenge the way we currently manage and conserve biological diversity. Consequently, there are increasing numbers of conflicts between those interested in conserving species and those with alternative goals, interests or values. This conference brings together academics from a range of disciplines, policy makers and practitioners to address how, when and why conflicts arise, and to identify mitigation strategies
