2010 UK Biodiversity Partnership Conference

The 2010 UK Biodiversity Partnership Conference will be held on 23 and 24th November 2010 at Stirling University, Scotland.

The conference is an early opportunity for the UK Biodiversity Partnership to discuss our response to the new global and EU targets which move from a primary focus of preventing loss of species to an equal focus on ecosystem services. These new targets bring new opportunities and new challenges.
