Ecosystem
Management
The first Sibthorp
Seminar was designed to look critically at the findings of
recent ecological research and to consider how far it made a radical
re-design of conventional conservation practices necessary.
In particular, it aimed to:
- challenge traditional ecological thinking
and explore the relevance and application of recent scientific
advances
- evaluate current understanding of the ecological
fundamentals underpinning ecosystem management
- facilitate structured debate of key issues
- assist in the future development by IUCN of
a Handbook on Procedures for Integrated Management of Ecosystems
for Conservation and Resource Utilisation
- provide a key input into the development of
the programme of the IUCN Commission on Ecosystem Management
The First Sibthorp Paper reports
the outcome of this seminar, held at the Royal Holloway Institute
for Environmental Research on 21 and 22 June 1996. The meeting was
organized by Professor Edward Maltby and supported by the Sibthorp
Trust. The results formed the basic document for a workshop held
at the First World Conservation Congress in Montreal, Canada, on
17 October 1996.
They are now presented in a more complete format
in the Sibthorp publication Ecosystem Management: Questions for
Science and Society.
Ecosystem Management is available for purchase
through the Natural
History Book Society
