ICCB 2015: Spash’s Plenary Receives Standing Ovation

The conference "nternational Congress for Conservation Biology and 4th European Congress for Conservation Biology “Mission Biodiversity: Choosing New Paths for Conservation” Montpellier, France" was attended by 2000 people.  The plenary was set up as a debate with Peter Kareiva (USA), chief scientist for the Nature Conservancy and advocate of a ‘New Conservation’ that allies with corporate interests and neoliberal market mechanisms.  The two talks were about 20 mins each. Kareiva went first and was followed by Spash. The response of the audience was overwhelming in favour of what Spash said with a spontaneous standing ovation from the conference floor (click here for audience comments). Unfortunately there was no video, but a low quality sound recording is being transcribed and that transcript will be posted here when finished.
