Posted on 8 March, 2017 by Connecting Country
The Central Victorian Biolinks Alliance, of which Connecting Country is a part, is holding a symposium on the science and practice of re-establishing ecological connectivity in the landscape. The symposium “From islands to networks: Linking landscapes for conservation at a time of climate change” will be held on Friday May 12th at the Capital Theatre in Bendigo. It will be a chance for leading experts, including Professor Andrew Bennett (La Trobe University & Arthur Rylah Institute), Dr Gary Howling (Great Eastern Ranges), Ary Hoffman (Melbourne University) and conservation practitioners to share the latest knowledge and practical experiences around this important topic.
The day will explore the concept and practicalities of biolinks, addressing topics such as
- why we need to reconnect the landscape,
- how to design and structure biolinks and
- how to set up and deliver them.
Connecting Country will keep you posted on booking details and the full program which are to follow shortly.
