Biodiversity monitoring and conservation

Event description

Biodiversity conservation is becoming an increasingly urgent imperative in the face of accelerating degradation of natural ecosystems. Effective conservation depends on our ability to measure and monitor biodiversity change, and on the responses to biodiversity loss of a wide group of stakeholders and actors, including governments, local communities and the international community.

The "Biodiversity monitoring and conservation: bridging the gaps between global commitment and local action" symposium will provide a synopsis of the best current thinking on how to monitor biodiversity loss and how to ensure monitoring results have real impacts on conservation.
