Fw: Apes, Biodiversity and Climate Conference - 29th October

by Hannah Buchanan-Smith

This may be of interest to some of you.... ________________________________ From: Ape Alliance <coordinator(a)4apes.com<mailto:coordinator@4apes.com>> Sent: 18 October 2021 16:48 To: Hannah Buchanan-Smith <h.m.buchanan-smith(a)stir.ac.uk<mailto:h.m.buchanan-smith@stir.ac.uk>> Subject: Apes, Biodiversity and Climate Conference - 29th October CAUTION: This email originated from outside University of Stirling.

The event will take place online on the 29th of October from 11am-5pm UK time. [https://mcusercontent.com/88904fe3424de6397e43e31bb/images/388072c6-23e3-00…] Part 1 - Asian Apes: Gibbons, Siamang and Orangutans. Part 2 - African Apes: Bonobos, Chimpanzees and Gorillas, Eastern and Western. Part 3 - Apes and the New Economic Paradigm - keynote speech by Ralph Chami followed by panel discussion. Between the UN’s CoP15*, tackling biodiversity loss, and CoP26**, tackling climate change, we are holding an event to bridge the gap between the two. It is clear how apes and their conservation is related to biodiversity, but how does this tie in with the climate? We have invited experts to discuss their cutting-edge research on how apes themselves can help us mitigate against climate change through their role as keystone species. Towards the end of the conference, we will hear about how we can put a value on these ecosystem services which has the potential to pay for the conservation of many species. Apes’ role in helping us and the climate could be the very thing that helps them to survive. Whilst the world is watching the CoPs, we must stress how intertwined the climate crisis is with biodiversity loss. We must not forget that conservation, rather than or as well as technological advances, could be the key to tackling climate change. The “Apes, Biodiversity, Climate” conference will bring together speakers from academia, conservation, politics and even economics to first present their research and ideas, and then join each other in a panel discussion. *CBD CoP15 is the 15th Conference of the Parties to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity. ** UNFCCC CoP26 is the 26th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.

Message from Deborah Bruce (who is home now)

by Hannah Buchanan-Smith

Dear BERGers and members of the Psychology Department, I just want to thank all of you that sent messages, cards or contributed to the fabulous Kudoboard following my unfortunate accident. Obviously a fractured spine has severely limited my movement but it appears my spinal column is unaffected which is fantastic news. Everything still moves, just not very well at the moment, but hopefully that will improve in time. As you can imagine I had some rather dark moments when this happened but your messages of support lifted my spirits and gave me hope that I might get back to research one day, so thank you all so much. Hope to see you all again soon and also to meet some of you for the first time! 😊. Many thanks again for all your support and encouragement. Best wishes, Deborah ________________________________ The University achieved an overall 5 stars in the QS World University Rankings 2020 UK Sports University of the Year 2020 (Times Higher Good University Guide) The University of Stirling is a charity registered in Scotland, number SC 011159.
