To China and back again…

It was with great pleasure that Stephen Davis was invited to speak at a conference in Changshu, China during January. This conference explored, through workshops and lectures the importance of “Good practices for Integrating Urban Development and Wetland Conservation”. Expanding on this the workshops provided great insight into the effects of development in urban wetlands, which in the past has led to these wetlands being left degraded and damaged. However, new technologies and recognition of the value of wetlands has seen some exciting initiative for developing sustainable in wetland areas.

It was a great honour to be invited by the Nanjing University Ecological Research Institute of Changsu to be a part of such an the workshops and we look forward to further partnerships with the university in the future.
