SWAP Caf�: Will We Learn to Love Novel Ecosystems?
add to outlook add to google calendar remind me
A hands-on way to learn, SWAP Caf�s are more than a lecture. Round table discussions come to life after panellists stimulate reflection and inspire new thoughts and ideas. Your input and ideas help to shape the evening, and create a unique experience. Three different SWAP events are taking place on February 21, March 27 and May 23.
Will We Learn to Love Novel Ecosystems?
We are seeing unprecedented new combinations of species thanks to environmental change, human action and invasive species. At one time these novel ecosystems were dismissed as degraded but now conservationists are wondering could these be valid new habitats?
Join our panel and discuss the ecological, cultural and ethical considerations at play, and consider what to do about novel ecosystems.
Panellists:
Dr Richard Hebda � Curator of Botany and Earth History, Royal BC Museum
Dr Eric Higgs � Director of School of Environmental Studies, University of Victoria
Dr Brian Starsomski � Assistant Professor, School of Environmental Studies, University of Victoria
