Why attend

This event is a must for policymakers, scientists, decision-makers and whoever is working at the forefront of ecosystem conservation.

Session Description

How can we move from research to real conservation impact? This panel brings together the minds behind some of CEM’s most influential knowledge products, including the Global Ecosystem Typology Cross-referencing Guidelines, Guidelines for Rewilding, Nature-based Solutions Case studies, the Routledge Handbook of Cultural Ecosystem Services, among others. This session will uncover how these developments are reshaping policy and action in ecosystem conservation and why they matter if we want to make an impact.
