THE SOCIETY FOR CONSERVATION BIOLOGY ANNUAL MEETING

*********************************************************************

June 6 to 9, 1997
Victoria, British Columbia, Canada

The 1997 SCB Annual Meeting offers an opportunity to present papers and posters on a variety of topics, with a major theme this year on Marine Conservation Biology. Invited and contributed special sessions will be held concurrently with other non-marine sessions, but the special emphasis in a number of symposium sessions will be similarities and differences between conservation biology in the marine setting and in other realms. Oral and poster sessions will be scheduled over three days, with evening times available for roundtables and discussion groups. Single and multi-day field trips are planned for the June 10 - 14 period, and will include topics and destinations such as: Forests and Forestry in the Carmanah Valley, Gray Whales of Clayoquot Sound, Marine Biota of the Strait of Georgia, and Ethnobotany of British Columbia Aboriginal People.

Call for Papers and Posters deadline is January 15, 1997. For author instructions and information on abstract submissions, please refer to the conference web site at http://geography.geog.uvic.ca/dept/announce/scb_page.html
