The National Zoo’s Center for Conservation, Education and Sustainability (CCES), Environment Canada and the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) in partnership with The Convention on Biological Diversity, The Inter American Institute for Climate Change, The International Union for Forestry Research Organizations and the Heinz Foundation present the International Science Symposium on
CLIMATE CHANGE AND BIODIVERSITY IN THE AMERICAS
http://nationalzoo.si.edu/ActivitiesAndEvents/Lectures/STRI_climate_change.cfm
The focus of the Symposium is to provide a forum for leading scientists to present the results from research and monitoring activities relating to climate change and forest biodiversity throughout the Americas. The goal is to establish a co-operative science, research and monitoring network that links biodiversity conservation, sustainability, policy responses, and ecological adaptation to climate change. The CCES and Environment Canada will offer two short courses immediately after the Symposium on Forest Biodiversity Monitoring Plots, Tools for Measuring Forest Change, and Climate Change Modeling, respectively.
Venue: Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, Panama
Dates: 25-29 of February, 2008
