[Coral-List] The Future Conservation of the Chagos

[Pete Raines]

The Chagos Conservation Trust is hosting a one-day conference entitled 'The
Future Conservation of the Chagos' on the 25th October 2007 at the
Zoological Society of London.

The working conference will consider future challenges and possible
solutions for the conservation of the Chagos, British Indian Ocean Territory
(BIOT).

Following an inauguration with distinguished guest speakers, there will be a
sandwich lunch and plenty of opportunity for informal contact and
discussion, and then working sessions whose provisional themes are: BIOT's
natural environment; BIOT and climate change; Frameworks for
internationally-supported conservation of Chagos, taking account of human
settlement; BIOT's coral and fisheries conservation and management; Priority
projects for BIOT, and funding.
