The Bio Conf brings together educators, researchers, and representatives of environmental government agencies and advocacy groups to discuss with us how their work helps to explore and protect biodiversity across the globe. Geared towards academia, but open to the general public, Bio Conf 2012 will include a series of presentations covering a variety of ecological topics. Students and the public are invited to join an exciting weekend of learning more about the world around us, ways to get involved locally and how each of us play important roles in the health of the ecosystems we are part of. Please check back often for updates/changes and be sure to mark your calendars and tell your friends!
