Upcoming Events in Victoria
NETWORKING & DISCUSSION | Biodiversity markets – integrating commercial and conservation objectives
About:
This social event will commence with two short presentations looking at current and emerging mechanisms available to forest managers to provide tangible returns to investors through careful, planned biodiversity management.
Biodiversity markets may bring new investors to forestry, but making this a reality requires a new silviculture which promotes value over volume and successfully and sustainably integrates commercial and conservation objectives to help grow investment in net-gain, nature-positive wood production systems.
Join us in the conversation, and catch up with old and new friends at The Last Jar.
