The Organising Committee of the Biodiversity Conference 2021: Resilient Landscapes invites proposals for papers and posters for the upcoming conference in Perth, Western Australia, 15 – 17 September 2021.

Biodiversity hotspots worldwide are being significantly impacted by numerous threatening processes including land clearing, resource development, urbanisation, changes to ecological processes such as fire regimes and hydrological cycles, and climate change. These factors erode the natural resilience of landscapes and have profound impacts on the integrity of ecosystems and persistence of species.

Western Australia has eight of Australia’s 15 national biodiversity hotspots and the south west of the State harbours one of the two Australia international biodiversity hotspots.

We strongly encourage you to submit a paper / poster to this conference under the themes:

• Indigenous Stewardship
• Our Biodiversity Assets
• Trends and Conditions
• Threats and Their Impact
• Restoration and Conservation
• Technology and Innovation

This Conference will bring together researchers and practitioners across academia, government, industry and community to share scientific knowledge, biodiversity informatics and best practice in biodiversity conservation and sustainable land management. From the local focus, this event promises the synergistic benefits that come from collective forward thinking.

To submit your paper or poster, and for more information, please go to Call for Papers.
