SUMMARY:Coral\, climate change and a conservation conundrum. - Paul Pearce
 -Kelly\, Senior Curator for Invertebrates\, Lower Vertebrates and Research
  at the Zoological Society of London
DTSTART:20181115T203000Z
DTEND:20181115T213000Z
UID:TALK114736@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Mr Simon Thomas
DESCRIPTION:Despite concerted efforts to incorporate climate change impact
 s\, formal threat assessments\, such as Red Listing\, still struggle to su
 fficiently incorporate global warming and ocean acidification impact consi
 derations. The resultant disconnect between threat reality\, evaluation\, 
 and conservation policy is exemplified by the current system-level threat 
 facing coral reefs and their reliant biodiversity. This talk will focus on
  the coral viability crisis and suggest how we might improve the threat ev
 aluation process to help optimise mitigation and adaptation policy. If we 
 can get it right for corals the outlook for all live on Earth may yet be t
 ransformed.
