大会特邀报告

特邀报告一:Botanic Gardens on the World Stage

报 告 人:Stephen Blackmore教授 英国爱丁堡皇家植物园园长

报告摘要:Botanic gardens are a unique and distinctive kind of scientific and cultural institution. They contribute to society in a very wide variety of ways, from research to relaxation and rejuvenation. The contribution they make has great economic value, although measuring this accurately remains a challenge. In recent years botanic gardens have begun to influence and shape international agendas including United Conventions focused on achieving a more sustainable future. This has been possible because botanic gardens are effective, not only as individual institutions, but as networks at national, regional and international levels. How can botanic gardens increase their influence and play an even more prominent role in the future – a time of great environmental challenges?

特邀报告二:Ex situ Cultivated Flora

报 告 人:黄宏文研究员  中国科学院华南植物园主任

特邀报告三:Botanic Gardens in the Society -- IABG: Its Present and Future

报 告 人:Kunio Iwatsuki教授 日本兵库自然与人类活动博物馆馆长

特邀报告四:Botanical Gardens, Society and Change

报 告 人:Thomas S. Elias教授 美国国家树木园前任园长

报告摘要:Today’s large, urban botanical gardens are more complex organizations than garden of the last century and the early twentieth century, institutions that are expected to contribute more to the demands and needs of larger, often more diverse populations. The role of modern botanical gardens has changed and expanded dramatically from that of the gardens 300 years ago, 100 years ago, and even the last several decades. Botanical gardens are no longer isolated islands of academic scholarship or of the horticultural elite. While botanical gardens have made major botanical and horticultural contributions to our societies; in recent years those contributions are expanding to broader social and economic accomplishments.  This illustrated presentation, featuring botanical gardens on different continents, will demonstrate how contributions to society from gardens have changed and what the challenges will be gardens in the future.

特邀报告六: The Challenges for Botanic Gardens in a World with Moving Goalposts

报 告 人:Vernon H. Heywood教授 英国雷丁大学 荣誉教授 

报告摘要:Over the centuries, botanic gardens have learned to adapt to advances in knowledge and changing circumstances. After a long period in which building up the collections was for many a major goal, the emphasis changed during the past 25-30 years and the conservation of biodiversity became a primary concern for most gardens, with much effort going in to devising policies and strategies to that end. Another important development was the recognition of the key role that botanic gardens can play in education and outreach – spreading the message about the importance of plants and the need for their conservation.

     The last few years has been marked by an increasing perception of the dramatic changes to the planet that are taking places globally and affecting areas such as food and nutrition, population growth and movements, patterns of land use and accelerated climate change, all of which have had severe impacts on biodiversity and continue largely unabated. Such global change is causing botanic gardens once more to reassess their goals and consider what contributions they can usefully make to addressing the impacts of such developments.

     At the same time, the world is experiencing a global economic crisis and a general loss of confidence which has seriously affected the capacity of many gardens to operate effectively and in some cases has even forced their closure. This poses severe challenges for the future of botanic gardens and the way they are organized and financed. Both national and international botanic garden organizations need to address these challenges as a matter of urgency.

特邀报告七:Beyond Our Walls:  Launching the Ecological Restoration Alliance of Botanic Gardens

报 告 人:Bruce M. Pavlik教授 英国邱园恢复生态学负责人

报告摘要:The current scale of ecological restoration is small in relation to human impacts on the planet. Governments, industry, NGO’s and universities do not have the expertise, resources or attention span to slow the accelerating degradation of forests, grasslands and deserts. Botanic gardens, of which there are more than 2500 on six continents, have the expertise and the long-term dedication to restore natural vegetation (and the water, pollinators, flood control and carbon storage it supplies to humans), but they don’t have the resources. In 2011, representatives from ten large and small botanic gardens, with guidance from Botanic Gardens Conservation International and the Society of Ecological Restoration, met in New York and Nairobi. We drafted and finally published a declaration, concept paper, 20 year programme and a memorandum of understanding to create the Ecological Restoration Alliance. The ERA will allow gardens to share their knowledge and experience to restore 100 sites on six continents in 20 years. The resulting financial advantage is that funding sources (foundations, industry, governments) with global or continental criteria for giving money can now be approached. We are in the process of linking gardens with similar restoration expertise in order to obtain funding that would otherwise not be available to individual gardens. The MOU creating the ERA was signed at Kew, celebrated in the House of Lords and endorsed by HRH Prince Charles in May 2012.

专题研讨会:

专题1Botanical gardens’ role in overcoming nature deficit disorder in this rapid urbanizing world 

召集人: 陈进 研究员 中国科学院西双版纳热带植物园主任 cj@xtbg.org.cn 

摘要:Nature deficit disorder refers to the alleged trend that children are spending less time outdoors, resulting in a wide range of behavioral problems. Along the   rapid development of urbanization worldwide, nature deficit disorder in children become one of the alarming phenomena. As professional environmental education agencies, botanical gardens (BGs) could play important role in overcoming the disorder, by providing natural setting to urban children as well as providing outdoor educational programs. However, we still know little about to what extend the nature deficit disorder has already presence. How does the outdoor program as a trying really matching this need? To what extend the environment that kids grow up can shape children’s phobia and their attitude towards environmental conservation.

专题2Roles of arboreta and botanical gardens to foster conservation of rare

摘要:China is home to about 10% of the earth’s known vascular flora including some of the most spectacular trees of the world. Demographic, socio-economic and climatic changes, habitat conversion, unsustainable use of native and introduction of exotic species, as well as environmental pollution, are rapidly transforming China’s ecosystems and their botanical diversity.  This workshop focuses on the roles that arboreta and other botanical gardens of the world can play to conserve rare tree species of China.  We are bringing together botanical garden professionals from around the world to share and discuss the current state of rare tree populations and discuss strategic roles that botanical gardens can play for ex situ and in situ conservation of rare trees.  As part of the workshop, participants will give short presentations about current tree conservation work and research including challenges and opportunities.  Presentations will be followed by a facilitated panel and open discussion to foster further exchange of ideas about potential activities that Chinese and other gardens around the world can do together to further the goal of preserving rare and endangered tree species and share best practices of collection management for tree conservation efforts.

召集人: 刘虹 美国佛罗里达国际大学 博士;美国费尔柴尔德热带植物园 保护生态学家;广西大学 兼职教授 hliu@fiu.edu

高江云 研究员 中国科学院西双版纳热带植物园 gjy@xtbg.org.cn     

摘要:Endangered species reintroduction is an essential tool for biodiversity conservation in the foreseeable future. Botanical gardens, especially those in the developed countries, have pioneered in the practice and research of plant reintroduction. However, in recent years, the practice has begun to gain momentum in Asian countries, such as China. The proposed symposium will provide a platform for the exchange of knowledge among researchers and practitioners of plant reintroduction in Asia. In addition, the proposed workshop will provide a detailed interpretation of the new guidelines for plant reintroduction, put forward by the Center for Plant Conservation, a globally renowned organization on plant reintroduction.

专题9Degraded forest ecosystem restoration with consideration of wild plant resource conservation

召集人: 叶清 研究员 中国科学院华南植物园 生态及环境科学研究中心主任 qye@scbg.ac.cn  

摘要Degradation of forests and lands is a common phenomenon all over the world and is a very serious problem in subtropical China. Due to the long-term human disturbance and extensive deforestation, most of the natural forests have degraded into secondary forests and abandoned hilly land featured by simple community structure, low species diversity and productivity, and poor ecosystem functions and services. The degradation of forests greatly threatened the conservation of wild plant resources with impact on the local rural communities whose livelihoods are substantially dependent on forests as resources of energy and timber products. Hence, extensive effort is needed to restore and sustainably manage degraded forests and develop productive plantations, from a multidisciplinary perspective including biology, ecology, socioeconomics, and government policies with participation of all stakeholders. Aiming to provide a critical platform for physical, biological, ecological, and social scientists and policy-makers to share their knowledge and research results concerning forest ecosystem restoration, and bridge the gap between the science of restoration ecology and the practice of ecological restoration, issues and challenges relevant to degraded forest ecosystem restoration are highly welcome.

专题12Meeting the challenge of invasive species 

召集人:丁建清 研究员 中国科学院武汉植物园 dingjianqing@yahoo.com 

摘要:Invasive species pose threats to biodiversity and ultimately affect plant conservation in botanical gardens. Many alien plants are introduced by botanical gardens for various purposes, but some of them may have invasive potential. The aim of this workshop is to bring together global scientists, botanical garden managers, and decision-makers to share their knowledge and information on botanical garden plant introduction and invasion species. The topics may include, but are not limited to, risk assessment of plant introduction, preventing invasions of pest insects and deceases during plant introduction, and regulation on release of alien plant species through botanical gardens.
