12th Australasian Plant Conservation Conference (APCC12)

The Centre for Australian National Biodiversity Research (CANBR) at CSIRO, and the Australian Network for Plant Conservation (ANPC) will host a week of exciting presentations, local field trips and a 1-day threatened plant translocation workshop. Twelve flagship threatened plants from the ACT region are being featured as part of the conference.

Conference Themes

• Moving house – lessons from the past – who’s done what where and what do we now know?

• Moving house – what’s new?

• Policy and politics of moving plants.

• Crossing over – what can we learn from moving organisms other than plants?

• Effective partnerships – who, why and how? What works and what doesn’t?

• Do you need a safe deposit box? The importance of ex-situ conservation in translocation.

The biennial Australasian Plant Conservation Conference has become the premier event in Australia to discuss plant conservation issues with a variety of groups, from practitioners to researchers.

Call for Abstracts opens 2 May 2018, and Early Bird registrations open 21 May 2018.
