\"Veranstaltungsplakat<\/p>\n

Consideration of a range of indicators, such as the Red List Index, and coverage of Key Biodiversity Areas by Protected Areas, finds negative trends for biodiversity. However, while these indicators are crucially important for guiding policy, they don\u2019t reveal the actual impact of conservation. To assess this, we need to consider not only what is happening as a result of conservation action, but also what we anticipate would have happened in the absence of conservation action. I explore ways to estimate such conservation impacts using various techniques, revealing a more optimistic outlook on nature conservation.<\/p>\n

Guest:<\/strong>
\nProfessor Thomas Brooks<\/strong> is IUCN Chief Scientist. His roles include strengthening a) scientific support to assessments based on IUCN standards (e.g. IUCN Red List), b) interactions with peer scientific institutions, and c) the Union\u2019s culture of science. His background is in threatened species conservation and tropical forest biodiversity hotspots. He has authored 323 publications.<\/p>\n

Time:<\/strong> 14.00 p.m.
\nPlace:<\/strong> The event will take place at the Frankfurt location in the Festsaal \/ Ceremonial Hall of Senckenberg (J\u00fcgelhaus, Mertonstra\u00dfe 17). The lecture will be recorded and made available on our website afterwards.<\/p>\n
