Law, Science and Environment Seminar Series

EDO NSW is pleased to present the Law, Science and Environment Seminar Series.

The series aims to provide educational opportunities for scientists, policy makers, consultants, and other interested members of the community, as well as a forum for the discussion of current scientific issues and the links between science, policy, and law.

The series will comprise evening seminars to be presented by members of the scientific community, policy makers, consultants, and EDO staff. Seminars will be held in Sydney every two to three months.

The first seminar was held on 13 October at Deacons law firm, and was titled 'Current issues in biodiversity conservation and threatened species assessment'. The speakers and topics were:

• Associate Professor Paul Adam, Head of School, School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of NSW - 'Data deficiencies and decision-making in biodiversity conservation and threatened species assessment'
• Dr Lesley Hughes, Senior Lecturer, Department of Biological Sciences, Macquarie University - 'Climate change and biodiversity impacts in Australia and NSW'
