Small Matters: Microbes and their Role in Conservation

The Center for Biodiversity and Conservation's Twelfth Annual Symposium, American Museum of Natural History

Meeting Website at http://cbc.amnh.org/symposia/microbes/

Symposium Theme: Microscopic organisms comprise the majority of life on Earth--and we are discovering more all the time. They play a multitude of roles in every ecosystem. While recent attention has focused on microbial involvement in spreading disease, many microorganisms are beneficial or even crucial to the sustainability of life; and yet they may be threatened by human-induced environmental change. This symposium brings together microbiologists and conservationists to raise the profile of these unseen organisms and stress the critical need to include microbes in conservation research and resource planning.

Speakers will address the broad questions of how much microbial diversity exists on the planet; how this diversity affects other organisms, both positively and negatively; and how conservation practices take microbial life into account?

Podcasts and other information from the conference are available on the Symposium Website.
