Description:
When it comes to wildlife management issues, listening to locals is generally the most effective way to achieve positive results in conservation efforts. Dr. Alistair Bath, a world expert with over 20 years of experience in wildlife management and conservation, is making a trip to Calgary to teach us valuable lessons from the exciting field of human dimensions in natural resource management including a variety of colourful images and examples from around the world.
In his talk, Bath will take us from Kenya to Turkey and throughout Europe and North America with a special stop in Yellowstone National Park, illustrating wildlife-human interactions and his various on-the-ground applied conservation projects.
EVDS and Bath invite all Calgarians to come and learn how by working with people, rather than against them, one can find better solutions and achieve much greater things in conservation efforts.
Bath is a member of the IUCN/SSC Large Carnivore Initiative for Europe and has led various research projects throughout Europe on large carnivores. Bath has also worked on wolf reintroduction in Yellowstone National Park as well as wolf control issues in Yukon.
Through human dimensions research and his applied human dimensions facilitated workshop approach, Bath understands the nature of the conflict and works with groups to understand and address the key issues. He has taught human dimension courses in conservation biology programs in Italy, Germany, Croatia, Slovenia, Austria, Poland, and Portugal and has been an invited keynote speaker to international wolf and bear conferences. Bath enjoys working with people and finding solutions to the conservation challenges that we face today.
