14h00-18h00: Evolutionary context of biodiversity conservation strategies
Moderators: François Sarrazin, Jane Lecomte & Franck Courchamp
The evolution of species and their interactions should be better integrated into conservation goals and actions. How can social ecosystems restore and respect the evolutionary potential of their constituent organisms, human and non-human? How can micro and macroevolution inform ethical issues and conservation practices in their many dimensions: conservation and restoration of states or processes, species translocation, tipping points and evolution, loss of niches, invasive species, ‘free evolution’, evolutionary consequences of ecosystem service approaches, etc.

9h00-13h00: Diversity of types of anthropization and their effects on conservation
Moderators: Dominique Pelletier (EMH, Nantes) & Sébastien Barot (IEES, Paris).
All over the planet and in all ecosystems, biodiversity is facing many human pressures varying in time and space but that are often intense. They may be direct (human activities) or indirect (climate change) but have become so overwhelming that they justify the neologism “Anthropocene”. Nevertheless, different modes of development and anthropization lead to very different pressures and consequences for biodiversity.
This session will illustrate through various examples the diversity of these pressures and their effects on ecosystems and the feedbacks to human populations that depend on these ecosystems. We will also present scientific results about the various approaches to manage ecosystems and biodiversity and to mitigate or compensate for the negative impacts of human pressures.

14h00-18h00: Relations Climate/Biodiversity and adaptation (individuals and societies)
Moderators: Catherine Fernandez (IMBE, Marseille), David Giron (IRBI, Tours), & Martine Hossaert (INEE-CNRS).
The recent convergent efforts of the IPCC and the IPBES to bring the two communities of experts closer together now provide a favorable context for integrating climate and biodiversity issues and the many feedback loops that exist between them. This session will examine the links between climate, biodiversity conservation and adaptation of individuals and societies. The establishment of relationships between climate and biodiversity scenarios, the articulation of the spatio-temporal scales used by the two communities, as well as the interconnection between (micro)climate and ecophysiology of organisms, will all be themes illustrating the rapprochement of the climate and biodiversity communities, their thematic and methodological convergences as well as the remaining bottlenecks that remain. In the light of this work, a round table will examine the reality of conservation biology in a changing climate environment and our ability to translate knowledge into action.

8h30-9h00: Welcome of participants
9h00-12h30: Ethical issues in conservation: environmental justice and ecological effectiveness.
Moderators: Rémi Beau (IEES, Paris) & Virginie Maris (CEFE, Montpellier).
Over the past three decades, biodiversity conservation has broadened from nature preservation to more "people-friendly" approaches. However, these approaches that integrate both conservation and development objectives have not necessarily benefited local people. We need to move from approaches that promote economic development to approaches that work for social justice. This shift is prominent in international environmental agreements and biodiversity conservation organizations and requires the support of an intense research effort. This session will discuss how issues of justice are operationalized in conservation: (a) How do different conceptualizations of justice and equity influence conservation governance? (b) To what extent and through what mechanisms does the integration of social objectives into conservation governance influence conservation effectiveness?
- 9h00-10h00: Keynote speakers:
- Ricardo Rozzi (University of North Texas, USA): A biocultural ethic to overcome taxonomic chauvinism in conservation.
