LINKING ENVIRONMENT AND SOCIETY
4 – 6 SEPTEMBER 2012
THE UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH
Use of land and resources is central to people’s relationship with their environment. This international conference will explore how landscape ecology can help guide sustainable use of land and the services it provides to society.
We aim to bring together people with relevant expertise from across science, policy and practice, to learn from each other, and identify ways in which landscape ecology can support necessary shifts in land management to deliver improved and enduring benefi ts to society and the environment.
The multidisciplinary conference will appeal to anyone with an interest in landscape protection, planning, and management, including researchers, policymakers, and practitioners.
