highlight recent successful initiatives in freshwater conservation, and
to discuss how and where cutting-edge ideas and tools can be
implemented. The symposium will showcase projects that not only
integrate scientific fields, but also link science with other disciplines,
to generate a fertile landscape for discussing the way forward in
freshwater conservation.

CALL FOR POSTERS! Case studies are encouraged. Abstract
