Savanna Futures Forum

February 28, 2008

Mal Nairn Auditorium, Charles Darwin University

We would like to extend an open invitation to our final forum, to all members—past and present—and friends of the Tropical Savannas CRC.

In the twelve years of its existence the Tropical Savannas CRC has made a vital contribution to our understanding of northern Australia and its sustainable management.

We have learned much and we have generated many new questions.

This forum will review the lessons learned in the last decade or so, but more importantly, will assess how this knowledge can be applied in the years ahead. What is the future for Australia’s tropical savannas? We are still finalising the agenda for the day, but the talks will reflect our existing themes, namely:

  • Landscape ecology and health
  • Industry and community NRM
  • Regional planning and management
  • Human capability development

We hope to attract as wide an audience as possible, and the forum will be followed by drinks, barbecue and, no doubt, further in-depth discussion.

For planning purposes it would help if you could let us know if you think there is a reasonable chance that you will be attending…………but if you do nothing else at this stage please make a note of the date for the forum: 28 February 2008.

There will be no registration fee.

Please contact David Garnett if you would like to be included in our mailing list for any future notices.
