Plant & Animal Conservation Ecology
PACE (Plant & Animal Conservation Ecology)
The goal of this lecture series is to provide students with a broad view of conservation research and practice, and to contribute to bridging the gap between the two. We invite people working in biodiversity conservation within different professional frameworks (NGOs, federal and cantonal administration, media), as well as people carrying out conservation research. Each lecturer provides materials which the students have to study beforehand.
Location
In 2020 the seminar takes place at the Lecture Hall, Institute of Plant Sciences, Altenbergrain 21, Bern 3013
Time schedule
Thursday, 16:15h - 18:00h
