Lying at the intersection of vastly different cultures and biomes, the Mediterranean has long been a space characterised by movement and change. Here, people-plant relationships \u2013 and the landscapes in which they are embedded \u2013 are continuously being transformed by migrations, natural and cultural cross-pollinations, human and natural disasters and the innovations that blossom in this fertile ground. As these transformations accelerate in a context of rapid socioecological change, we are pressed to find new ways of coping with our precarious and indeterminate environmental futures.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The session brings the conservation sciences into dialogue with emerging social scientific concepts that \u2018disrupt\u2019 our binary perspective of nature as separate from culture. In doing so, it hopes to find new spaces for creative and joint reflection on how to conserve Mediterranean plants in rapidly changing landscapes. In particular, it will explore how we can harness the dynamic, active and reciprocal relationships that exist between people and plants in the Mediterranean to sustain existing community conservation initiatives and to build innovative plant conservation actions across the region.<\/p>\n<p>The session will be composed of 10 Pecha Kucha talks followed by an interactive dialogue session.<\/p>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #0d559e;\">Topics to address<\/span><\/h6>\n<ul>\n<li>Changing relationships between people and plants<\/li>\n<li>Transformation, loss and maintenance of traditional plant knowledge<\/li>\n<li>Agrobiodiversity and seed conservation<\/li>\n<li>Community-based conservation initiatives and their diversity<\/li>\n<li>Innovative approaches to plant conservation, particularly in the context of rapid environmental change<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #0d559e;\">Chair of the session<\/span><\/h6>\n<p>Emily\u00a0Caruso (Global Diversity Foundation).<\/p>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #0d559e;\">Co-Chair of the session<\/span><\/h6>\n<p>Ugo D&#8217;Ambrosio (GDF Mediterranean Ethnobiology Programme Director).<\/p>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #0d559e;\">Keynote speakers<\/span><\/h6>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][cth_speakers_cpt slidestoshow=&#8221;7&#8243; ids=&#8221;2523&#8243;][vc_column_text]<strong>Keynote.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Zaatar and zaitra: a parable of disruption and rewilding in Moroccan cultural landscapes Gary Martin<br \/>\nWhat\u2019s the point of talking about flowers?.
