January
28-30, 2010. Bridging Conservation and Development in Latin America and
Africa: Changing Contexts, Changing Strategies. Tropical Conservation and
Development (TCD) Program. 59th Annual Center for Latin American Studies
Conference. 26th Annual Center for African Studies Gwendolen M. Carter
Lectures. University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, USA. The
purpose of this conference is to bring together conservation and
development experiences from Africa and Latin America to discuss and
compare emerging trends, and stories of success and failure. These
exchanges will not only facilitate mutual learning among the participants,
but also serve as a foundation to strengthen collaboration between the
regions, and the definition of long-lasting solutions to advance
conservation and economic development in its multiple dimensions.
Conference sessions have been organized around three primary topics:
*Changing contexts for conservation and development (sub-topics include:
economic globalization, environmental change, and alliances between social
movements and political actors) *Changing strategies (sub-topics include:
rights-based approaches, market-based approaches, multi-scale landscape
management, and cross-sectoral partnerships and networks) *Training and
capacity building of the next generation of conservation and development
practitioners. Each session will include invited papers and discussion. In
addition to the oral sessions, there will be a poster session open to
submissions on any aspect related to the conference topics. Submissions
based on scientific research as well as practitioner experience are
encouraged. To participate in the conference poster session, please
submit an abstract on-line by Oct 16, 2009. Visit the
http://conference.ifas.ufl.edu/tcd/ for more information. |
