CONSERVING BIRDS IN HUMAN-DOMINATED LANDSCAPES A Biodiversity Symposium
April 27 and 28, 2006 American Museum of Natural History New York City
http://cbc.amnh.org <http://cbc.amnh.org/> 

 

The American Museum of Natural History's Center for Biodiversity and
Conservation (CBC) will focus its eleventh annual symposium on conserving
bird diversity in the areas most heavily impacted by human activities. While
there have been many opportunities for scientists and managers to discuss
the conservation of rare birds in the wild, this conference will examine new
approaches for managing bird diversity in urban, suburban, agricultural, and
industrial areas; and explore possibilities for conservation in the face of
an increasingly developed and industrialized world. Conservation
decision-making in these landscapes will necessarily involve ecological and
evolutionary considerations as well as an open discussion of ethical and
aesthetic implications. Once we begin to understand potential or desired
patterns of diversity, we can proceed to integrate the available science
with new and adaptive approaches to land management in these areas.

 

CALL FOR POSTERS:

Poster abstracts will be considered for inclusion in the symposium's poster
session. Abstract submissions will be accepted until March 1.

Guidelines are posted at http://cbc.amnh.org/symposia/birds/.

 

Special Student Pricing and Early-Registration Discounts Are Available.

 

In conjunction with the Symposium, the CBC will host the Mack Lipkin Man and
Nature Series Lecture, featuring renowned ecologist Gordon Orians on
"Biodiversity and the Evolutionary Roots of Beauty." This lecture, on
Thursday, April 27, at 7:00 pm, is free, and open to the public.
Registration is recommended, as seating will be limited.

 

For detailed information about the Symposium, Poster Session, and Mack
Lipkin Lecture, please email biodiversity at amnh.org or visit the CBC website
