NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR SCIENCE AND THE ENVIRONMENT invites you to
participate in the 9th National Conference on Science, Policy, and the
Environment: Biodiversity in a Rapidly Changing World, to address the
challenge the changing world poses to biodiversity (and to humanity).
The conference will provide an opportunity to look at what is happening
to biodiversity in the context of radical climate disruption, human
population rise, land use changes, globalization and other economic
forces. We will collectively develop a 21st century biodiversity
science and conservation strategy.
