Conservation and monitoring of pond biodiversity




1st European Pond Workshop, Geneva, 28 - 30 October 2004

Scope of the Workshop
Ponds are an essential freshwater habitat for plants and animals. They play a central role in maintaining high regional biodiversity. In addition, ponds have many other functions relating to education, recreation, economy, hydrology, culture and aesthetics. Despite their importance, relatively little resources are invested in pond conservation in Europe. Furthermore, the scientific basis for the management and conservation of ponds is currently weak compared to the information available for other freshwater habitats. The aim of the workshop is to present recent highlights in conservation and monitoring of pond biodiversity, as well as to point out challenges for future research.
