This international conference is being
organized in India to highlight the
urgency of biodiversity conservation in
Asia ahead of the 11th Conference of the
Parties (CoP) of the UN Convention on
Biological Diversity (CBD) to be held in
India in October 2012. Biodiversity Asia
2012 will bring together researchers,
policy makers, managers, students,
teachers, NGOs, activists, and others
working towards the conservation of
Asia's biodiversity.
Biodiversity Asia 2012 will include
important updates on conservation
research in Asia in lectures, plenary
sessions, symposia and poster sessions
by leading scientists and students.
Biodiversity Asia 2012 will also
contribute to capacity-building in Asia
by including practical workshops and
short-courses for students and
practitioners.
Our goal is to have every country in
Asia represented, and to showcase the
advances made in research and
conservation of Asia's rich biodiversity.
