Network Annual General Meeting 2007
The Network AGM will take place on Friday 5 October at Turnbull House - Large Gallery on level 1, Wellington from 5 p.m. till 8 p.m. The event will start with a meeting to elect the new Network council followed by a discussion on issues of interest to members. There will then be food and drink for members. There will then be a public lecture at 6.30 p.m. open to members of other NGOs, government agencies and the public followed by another chance to mingle.Our Guest speaker will be Dr Matt McGlone—leader of the Biodiversity & Conservation team at Landcare Research. His major research interests are palaeoecology of the New Zealand vegetation, biogeography of the New Zealand flora, climate change and biodiversity and the impact of human settlement. His current work includes research into changing climates of the Sub-Antarctic islands, tree lines, the effect of fire on wetlands, and how and why Maori burnt so much forest in the early years of settlement. His recent involvement in conservation of biodiversity has made him ponder why it is very much left in the shadow of climate change while arguably being a much more important issue for New Zealand over the next few decades. His talk will explore this conundrum.
We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at the AGM. Items you would like to have included on the agenda for the AGM should be sent to: [Enable JavaScript to view protected content].
