Summary
The landscape for ecological practice is shifting rapidly, with clear contradictions from politicians and policymakers on the importance of nature recovery and the desire to weaken environmental protections. Within the frameworks set by governments, ethical and skilled ecologists and environmental managers throughout the UK and Ireland continue to work with clients and stakeholders to achieve the best possible outcomes for nature and people.
Description
This conference will shine a spotlight on the work of passionate practitioners who understand how to deliver the real win-wins, and who can demonstrate, through practical examples, how high-quality ecology adds value to projects, places and communities.
Alongside celebrating what already works, we also want to look beyond the current policy turmoil and create space for forward-thinking, creative, and practical ideas that can inform the next chapter of nature-positive planning. By bringing together ecologists, planners, developers, land managers, policy specialists and decision-makers, we aim to share concrete lessons, robust evidence, and best-practice approaches that others can take away and apply in their own work.
