Conferences
16–18 October 2017, Girona, Spain
5th National Conference on Invasive Alien Species
In order to support the scientific discussion at national and international level on the problem of biological invasions and raise the profile of the issue in both academic and policy arena, the GEIB Grupo Especialista en Invasiones Biológicas is pleased to announce “EEI 2017”, 5th National Conference on Invasive Alien Species (16-18 October). The progressing and escalating threats posed by invasive alien species in Spain and Europe suggest that immediate cooperative, specific planning is necessary if we are to have any chanche to halt biodiversity loss. Scientific, technical, political and legal actions need to be put in place urgently in order to diminish the ecological and economic impacts of biological invasions. In this framework, EEI 2017 will provide a national high-level forum to incorporate research into decision making processes and management of invasive alien species. EEI 2017 will constitute an important opportunity to advance the dialogue and strengthen cooperation between the scientific community, conservation agencies, stakeholders, and policy and decision makers. Researchers, representatives from governmental entities, non-profit organizations, and any person or party involved in biodiversity conservation and natural resource management are invited to participate and share ideas, new results and opinions in the field of biological invasions.
