The 7th Annual UK Biodiversity Partnership Conference took place at the University of York on Wednesday 7th and Thursday 8th October 2009. For this year only, the UK Biodiversity Partnership Conference was combined with the English Local Biodiversity Action Plan (LBAP) Seminar.

The intention of the conference was to bring together those from the biodiversity community to discuss themes and issues of common concern. The title of the conference was The Value of Biodiversity.

The programme, amongst other things, covered the weight to be attached to biodiversity valuation in any successor to the 2010 target; valuing biodiversity within an ecosystem approach; and how to incorporate valuation, scientific and social evidence into our delivery. Representatives of the four countries also provided updates on progress to conserve the species and habitats afforded conservation priority under the UK Biodiversity Action Plan.

Presentations from the main plenary sessions can now be viewed here.

Summary responses to questions posed in open sessions are also available here.
