NATIONAL FORUM ON WETLAND RESEARCH AND MANAGEMENT
NOVEMBER 19-21 IN ARLES
Creating greater synergies between French research infrastructures and managers is the objective of this Research-Management Forum on Wetlands.
There is an urgent need to work together more effectively: with the combined climate and biodiversity crises having a severe impact on wetlands, the issue of collaboration between researchers, managers, institutional representatives, and funders is more pressing than ever.
