Theme: Conservation for a Changing Planet
Humans are causing large changes to the ecology of the earth. Industrial development and agriculture are changing landscapes and carbon emissions to the atmosphere are changing climates. No where on earth are changes to climate having more drastic effects on ecosystems and human cultures than in the north. As such, ICCB 2010 will be held in Edmonton, Alberta – the city known as Canada’s “Gateway to the North”.
