[Pollinator] Butterfly Conservations 50th anniversary symposium

[Scott Black]

*2018 Symposium open for bookings*



Celebrate with us in our 50th year!



I am delighted to announce that our Eighth International Symposium is to be
held at Southampton University, from the 6th to 8th April 2018 on the
theme: *The ecology and conservation of butterflies and moths*



We are inviting offers of papers or posters on relevant topics. The
Symposium will include the latest science on the ecology of butterflies and
moths, and how to conserve them and their habitats in a changing world. The
programme provides opportunities for Butterfly Conservation members to
present talks or posters on practical conservation work and contributions
will be welcomed. The Symposium will end with a forward look of future
challenges, including the impact of climate change. Details will be posted
and updated on the BC website as they develop.



Guest speakers include Dr Martin Warren, recently retired Chief Executive
of Butterfly Conservation (UK) whose talk will celebrate the 50 year
history of Butterfly Conservation and Dr Scott Hoffman Black, Executive
Director of the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation (USA) and
Chair of the IUCN Butterfly Specialist Group who will discuss the status of
common and widespread species in the USA. Other keynote speakers include
Professor Jane Hill (York University, UK), and Richard Fox (Butterfly
Conservation, UK).



The proceedings will be published as a special issue of the Journal of
Insect Conservation.



Registration and abstract submission (deadline 4th December) is available
on-line, at www.butterfly-conservation.org/symposium Booking is now open at
a special early bird discount of 15% until the 31st December 2017.



Please forward this announcement to any interested colleagues.



I look forward to meeting you all again in Southampton



With kind regards



Nigel Bourn
