「自然保護について話しましょう!【議論に向けて】」

Topic: Cats to Go (or do they stay?): cat management and conservation.
"Cats to Go(それとも共存?):猫の管理と自然保護"

(日本語は英語案内の下をご覧ください)


In the real world, there are countless issues that many persons have strong views on. Among them is a conservation issue in New Zealand, where a cat management discussion campaign to conserve native species was initiated under a controversial title “Cats to Go”1.

While cats as an invasive species are recognized as a serious threat to native wildlife conservation worldwide2, they are also cute and important companion animals to many people as well. 

For the forth Nature Conservation Seminar we will have students enrolled in the Certificate Programme on Nature Conservation (CPNC) place forward their standpoints in a discussion setup, based on their opinions, views and understandings of the situation. 

The seminar is open and you are all welcome. As we need to have an idea of the attendance, please register using the provided form (URL below) by 15:00 Monday 7 January 2019. We may need to limit the number in case it exceeds the room capacity. While we may also invite non-CPNC participants to the discussion, time permitting, please note that the seminar is primarily aimed to train CPNC students.
