ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

Policy issues have become central to conservation in Africa in recent times, whilst pursuing the attainment of the Millennium Development Goal 7 on environmental sustainability to reverse the loss of environmental resources & reduce biodiversity loss. However, these challenges come with the appropriate capacity to handle them yet inadequate on the African continent. They have become ineviatble because conservation in practice can offer opportunities for livelihoods especilly poor people. But the gap between scientists and policymakers has undermined this potential of promoting economic growth and development. These and other issues led to this Regional Conservation Science - Policy conference to be held in Ghana from January 26-28, 2009.
