AWMS ANNUAL CONFERENCE 2018

Integrating wildlife management, nature conservation and production in land, river and seascapes
The University of Tasmania, Hobart, 4-6 December 2018

Integrating nature conservation across the total matrix of land and water was a hot topic in the 90s and early 2000s resulting in the Nature Conservation Series. Adopting this theme for the 2018 AWMS conference gives us the opportunity to reflect on the theory, principles and approaches that came out of this earlier work and explore new challenges and current barriers. The theme covers all areas where we try to balance production and conservation – forestry, fisheries (inland and marine), agriculture, tourism and renewables (solar, wind, hydro). We encourage abstracts that explore questions such as ‘Have we made real progress?’ ‘How have we applied the theory in practice?’ ‘What new approaches/techniques are we using?’ ‘What are the current and future challenges?’ The conference will feature symposia with invited speakers on the following topics:
  •  Effectiveness of ‘multi-use’ landscape management practices
  •  Managing freshwater and marine systems for wildlife
  •  What does ‘renewables (solar, wind, hydro)’ mean for wildlife management?
  •  Cultural practices in wildlife management – how and why?
  •  Harvesting and control of wildlife for commercial and environmental purposes
  •  Management of wide-ranging species across the landscape
  •   Wildlife disease management

Other symposia will be organised to ft the topics of the abstracts received. There will also be open sessions to accommodate talks on any topic related to wildlife management.

Additionally we will offer two workshops:

  • Evaluating wildlife management: principles, case studies and proposals (Monday - full day)
  • Drones for wildlife management (Friday - full day)
