The Conference
proposal in 2003
In the awake of the 21st
century, conservation of
estuaries and mangroves remain as a growing challenge for
communities, environmental managers, and responsible entrepreneurs.
In May 2000, in Recife (Brazil), the Mangrove 2000 Conference has
promoted a lively debate on a number of issues related to the
sustainability of those sensitive ecosystems, their challenges and
prospects. In May 2003, there will be a good opportunity for
revisiting the problem on a new environment –Salvador, Bahia --,
under the auspices of both the Institute of Geosciences and the
Institute of Biology of the University
of Bahia. The Mangrove 2003 Conference will seek to promote the necessary
link between generation of knowledge and environmental management,
in order to enhance local participation in solutions for
socio-environmental problems. Bahia has become a rapid growth industrial area in the last forty
years and has pioneered oil exploration in Brazil. Salvador, by the
Todos os Santos Bay, with its ethnic diversity and lively social
life will be a perfect environment for discussing issues which are
at the base of an harmonic relation between Nature and Society. |
