Conference 28-31 October 2018, Launceston and Cradle Mountain, Tasmania: Wildlife Tourism Values and Challenges: balancing the needs of wildlife, tourists, operators and residents. How do we know what really matters to animals? How do we cater for this while still pleasing tourists and respecting the needs of operators and local residents? What do we need to know about the positive and negative conservation effects of tourism? We bring academic researchers, tour operators and others together to explore such questions. We’ve chosen a wonderful location, with plenty of wilderness and wildlife. Click here for details. CALL FOR PAPERS now open!
