Climate and Biodiversity Futures

Climate and Biodiversity Futures

This one day conference will bring experts together from across academia, policy and land management to discuss how new technologies and tools such as remote sensing, ecosystem modelling and precision management can be deployed in cost effective ways to resist, accept and direct paths to effective nature repair.

Description

We know that further changes to climate are coming, disrupting historical patterns of biodiversity, while land use change from agriculture continues to expand into unprotected natural areas. Actions to restore and repair nature are needed but what management and policy options are effective, where and when, given historical change and future extreme drought, fire and floods? 

This one day conference will bring experts together from across academia, policy and land management to discuss ways forward. How can new technologies such as remote sensing, ecosystem modelling, precision management and policy be deployed in cost effective ways to resist, accept and direct paths to effective nature repair? How do we ensure that biodiversity protection and nature repair remain effective as climate and ecological context shift?
