The Conservation Revolution has made a remarkable impact in a very short time with thousands of students, researchers and activists responding to its clarion calls. To mark the Spanish translation of The Conservation Revolution, to celebrate the French and German translations of the same book, and in anticipation of its translation into Catalan, Italian and Serbo-Croat, we are hosting a discussion about revolutionary conservation in English.

Please come and hear Bram Büscher present the book and its key arguments and then listen to various respondents in ICTA-UAB discuss the implications and issues with this work that they see.
