Great set of speakers confirmed !’Biodiversity, Ecosystem Services & the Green Economy’ in the Wessex region – Wednesday 11 February

Knowledge Exchange, Public engagement jcodling

The Wessex Conservation Forum aims to bring together representatives from NGOs, Universities and Government bodies for a free one day conference discussing ‘Biodiversity, Ecosystem Services & the Green Economy’ in the Wessex region. The services which nature provides us with, such as clean water, clean air, fertile soil and food, are not only crucial for the well-being of human-kind, they also represent an astronomical value. It has been estimated by economists that the loss of biodiversity was costing the EU €450 billion annually, equal to 3% of GDP. Hence, halting the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services is now a UK and EU priority for 2020.

Confirmed speakers  include representatives from  a variety of organisations and are listed below.

  • Dr Simon Cripps, Dorset Local Nature Partnership
  • Imogen Davenport, Dorset Wildlife Trust
  • Professor Adrian Newton, Bournemouth University – Linkages between ecosystem services and the green economy in southern Wessex
  • Professor James Bullock, Centre for Ecology & Hydrology
  • Sarah Watson, Bournemouth & Poole Sustainable Food City Partnership – Building food security through the green economy & biodiversity
  • John Davy-Bowker, Freshwater Biological Association
  • Professor Martin Solan, University of Southampton
  • Tim Glover, Blue Marine Foundation/Lyme Bay Fisheries & Conservation Reserve
  • Lydia O’Shea, Wessex Water
  • Dr Stephen Gregory, Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust
