Biodiversity Extinction Crisis Conference - A Pacific Response
| Chairperson | Carolyn J Lundquist | National Institute of Water & Atmospheric Research | New Zealand |
Successful conservation requires the integration of biodiversity conservation with the human dimension: the social and political processes that are necessary to achieve conservation strategies and goals. Conservationists in practice realise the importance of managing human interactions with the environment, as well as educating and enlightening the generic public as to the value of the natural environment and the species within. Conservation interactions include small scale community-based efforts such as the efforts of local communities to conserve local habitats or ecosystems, to large scale conservation projects by NGOs that seek large scale conservation through identification of hot spots of biodiversity, or lands imperative for biodiversity conservation. The talks in this symposium will illustrate efforts to include communities (from local to global) in conservation projects, and successful approaches to bridge the barrier between biodiversity objectives and human needs.
