From October 23-25, Qu\u00e9bec City will be hosting a major conference about connectivity and road networks. The \u201cConference on Road Ecology and Climate Change Adaptation: from Research to Concrete Actions\u201d, will share the latest findings on the topic, open dialogue between relevant government departments and generate efficient and win-win collaboration for all. Students are also welcome.<\/strong> Presentations, workshops, information stands and a fieldwork trip are planned. Simultaneous interpretation will be provided in English and French.<\/strong><\/p>\n At the crossroad of several scientific disciplines<\/strong><\/p>\n Experts from various sectors \u2212 land-use planning and road network, terrestrial habitats connectivity, wildlife management, hydrology and climate change adaptation \u2013 will get together to discuss various issues under the road ecology theme and to consolidate their knowledge. This event aims at proposing solutions to reduce the impact of roads on natural areas (wildlife, terrestrial and aquatic), contribute to maintaining ecological connectivity and supporting climate change adaptation.<\/p>\n In the fight against climate change, it is indeed essential to tackle GIS emissions, but also take actions that support ecosystems adaptation. Road ecology is an emerging science at the crossroads of civil engineering, hydrological engineering and natural areas conservation (ecosystems and wildlife biodiversity), that stimulates the creation of innovative solutions.<\/p>\n Organizers and partners work actively to plan this event and are inviting organizations to run information booths. Moreover, a call for applications for poster presentations was launched.<\/p>\n The conference is made possible thanks to many partners: Appalachian Corridor (main organizer), Concordia University, Quebec\u2019s Ministry of Transports, Mobilit\u00e9 durable et \u00c9lectrification des transports (MTMDET), Quebec\u2019s Ministry of For\u00eats, Faune et Parcs (MFFP), Quebec\u2019s Ministry of D\u00e9veloppement durable, Environnement et Lutte contre les changements climatiques (MDDELCC), Association des biologistes du Qu\u00e9bec (ABQ), Ontario Road Ecology Group (OREG), Two Countries, One Forest (2C1Forest), Fondation de la faune du Qu\u00e9bec, ARC Solutions and Nature Qu\u00e9bec.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
