Impacts of Non-native Species

19 November 2008
Great Northern Hotel, Peterborough, UK

A British Ornithologists’ Union Scientific Meeting
supported by
BTO, Defra, JNCC, Natural England

The conference will consider both the impacts of non-native birds, as well as the impacts of other non-native species on avifauna, both in the UK and overseas. It is planned that a series of case studies – ranging from studies of well-established non-natives to those new or less well understood – will be presented through the two morning sessions of the conference. The afternoon session will focus on present and future monitoring of non-natives and their status, legislation and policy, and conclude with a discussion session.

A key focus will be the need to link policy and management to sound science. Hence the conference is aimed at both non-government research and conservation organisations and the statutory government agencies responsible for policy and management regarding non-natives.

A common theme running through the day's presentations will be to highlight research and monitoring needs.

The programme for this event is being organised by Dr Niall Burton (BTO), Dr Ian Carter (Natural England), Dr Helen Baker (JNCC), Dr Niall Moore (Central Science Laboratory) and Steve Dudley (BOU).
