Wallenbergseminarium 19 november: Rewilding as a New Paradigm for Nature Conservation?

Rewilding as a conservation approach has recently gained attraction. A rewilding strategy puts a strong focus on restoring ecosystem complexity (e.g., multi-aged forests), natural disturbance regimes (e.g., natural fires and floods) and trophic networks (e.g., bringing back large carnivores and herbivores).

Through this, rewilding seeks to bolster ecosystem resilience while at the same time protecting biodiversity. But what are appropriate baselines for evaluating natural conditions? What are possible targets and endpoints for a rewilding strategy? Will rewilding conflict with the protection of cultural landscapes and farmland biodiversity? And where in Sweden, and at which spatial scale, could rewilding visions be formulated and implemented?

This Wallenberg Seminar will bring together leading rewilding researchers, conservation scientists, and practitioners to discuss these questions and evalute which role rewilding could play in Swedish conservation policy and practice. The seminar will partly be held in Swedish.

Chairperson: Professor Tobias Kümmerle, Head of Conservation Biogeography Lab, University of Berlin

Date: Tuesday 19 November 2019 kl 10:00–12:30

Venue:: The Royal Swedish Academy of Agriculture and Forestry (Kungl. Skogs- och Lantbruksakademien), Drottninggatan 95 B, Stockholm

    Workshop 5/3: Skogsskadegörarnas konsekvenser

    Workshopen ska ge en samlad bild av de mest betydande orsakerna till skador på Sveriges skogar, med utgångspunkt från aktuella och omfattande angrepp av insekter på granskog i söder och svampangrepp i norr. Den är starten för KSLA:s Kommitté för skador på skog, med uppdrag att medvetandegöra betydelsen av skogsskador, höja kompetensen samt belysa skogsskadornas koppling till klimatförändringen.
