Biodiversity: The Interplay of Science, Valuation, and Policy Conference

Overview

Plenary speakers and discussion groups at the 2006 AIBS Annual Meeting will approach the topic of "Biodiversity: the interplay of science, valuation, and policy" from a variety of cross-cutting themes. In recent years policy makers have increasingly recognized the economic values associated with biodiversity, economists have increasingly found ways to incorporate values associated with biodiversity into economic thinking, and scientists have increasingly documented the variety of services that diverse ecosystems provide. Participants will have the opportunity to explore the diverse linkages among these fields. The rest of the meeting's program is rounded out by events such as a poster session, AIBS awards, and a workshop on media training for biologists.

Sponsored by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the U.S. Geological Survey
