The project LIFE RESQUE ALPYR has participated at the 7th European Congress of Conservation Biology held in Bologna (Italy) between 17 and 21 June 2024.
Our PhD student, Lucia Bello, from the University of Calabria, contributed with an oral presentation discussing the preliminary results of how introduced fish might have a negative impact on shrew populations living around alpine lakes.
Moreover, Dr. Ibor Sabas, post-doc researcher from the University of Innsbruck, presented a short talk on the results of a rapid eradication of introduced fish conducted on an alpine lake in Austria in collaboration between the Biodiversa FISHME project and LIFE RESQUE ALPYR project.
7th European Congress of Conservation Biology
The European Congress of Conservation Biology (ECCB) is organized by the Europe Section of the Society for Conservation Biology (SCB) and aims to facilitate the exchange of conservation science and nature conservation practice and policy to promote the conservation of biological diversity in Europe; the theme of the 7th edition was “Biodiversity positive by 2030”.
Despite the current challenges in conservation, the congress provided an interesting opportunity for researchers to share knowledge and collaborate, hoping to promote working together and taking action to make significant progresses in conserving our planet’s biodiversity.
