In order to address the ongoing biodiversity crisis there is a recent debate whether or not biologists should consider new means of protection and conservation. This symposium aims to discuss the legal, social, ethical and scientific baseline underlying shifting paradigms in conservation and the role of human assistance to enhance organisms' resistance to future changes.
Objective: The aim of session 1 is to (i) discuss new approaches for the conservation of natural environments, such as assisted colonization, assisted evolution and synthetic biology and (ii) introduce the current legal, public and scientific framework of novel methods in conservation.
Objective: The aim is to introduce how assisted evolution might change our way of restoring natural marine environments. What new tools are available that can improve the selection of environmental stress resistance and be implemented in conservation? What are the promises and perils of such approaches?
