26-28 March 2009, at the National Museum of Natural History
(Luxembourg)
Conservation of hotspots (centres of high numbers of ecosystems, species and/or genes) biodiversity is one of the key objectives of nature protection in our days. The Biodiversity Hotspots - Evolution and Conservation meeting focuses on the development and status of areas with particularly high diversity which are in most cases not adequately protected. This situation is even more aggravated as a result of increasing human land use and climate changes. By this way, this meeting proves an excellent opportunity for scientists and stakeholders to discuss the development of biodiversity hotspots and strategies to protect these areas.
