International conference on hunting for sustainability: ecology, economics and society

Abstract

In this conference, we will explore the potential for sustainable use of biodiversity by focusing on an assessment of the interaction between social, cultural, economic and ecological values and impacts of hunting. Finally, we will discuss how these multidisciplinary results should be taken into account when designing policy, including the future EU policy on hunting and biodiversity conservation. This conference will join 150 scientists from more than 30 different countries and 5 continents, and we hope it will provide the necessary opportunity to discuss recent and exciting development in game research. A total of 43 oral presentations will be given and 38 posters presented, which reflects the high quality and interest of this conference. We see this conference as a great opportunity to fuel future communications and to strength the ties between the wide scientific community dedicated to the study of game.
