# Event Details - **Event Name**: From Africa to Ashdown Forest: Protected areas through a cultural lens - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 05 Dec, 2025 at 05:30 pm – Fri, 05 Dec, 2025 at 06:30 pm - **Event Description**: Join the flagship lecture at the Conservation Research Symposium, presented by Dr Mark Infield (Landscape Recovery Manager, Ashdown Forest)About this EventProtected areas are the crown jewels of modern conservation so why are they failing to deliver? Dr Mark Infield, author of “Beautiful Beasts, Beautiful Lands”, will suggest that conservation is going in the wrong direction.He will use the history of a national park in Uganda and his 30-year engagement there to argue that the focus of modern conservation on science and economics as explanations of and justifications for conservation, protected areas in particular, is not working. This is because they do not resonate with communities that live in and around them. Local, cultural, value-based relationships between people, place and nature provide stronger platforms for partnerships to achieve conservation. Ultimately, however, partnerships depend on willingness to share the determination of meaning of nature and place.This talk will be of interest to students and researchers in conservation, and anyone concerned with the conservation of nature and the nature of conservation.Image credit: © Copyright Robin Webster and licensed for reuse under the Creative Commons Licence. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/canterbury/from-africa-to-ashdown-forest-protected-areas-through-a-cultural-lens/100001972726703675 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Ffrom-africa-to-ashdown-forest-protected-areas-through-a-cultural-lens-tickets-1972726703675 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Canterbury - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Lecture Theatre 3, Sibson Building - **lat**: 51.2987866 - **long**: 1.0612839 - **full address**: Lecture Theatre 3, Sibson Building, Park Wood Road, Canterbury, United Kingdom ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology (https://allevents.in/org/durrell-institute-of-conservation-and-ecology/25006657) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/e8e9f61c5b1afa5f6cf127906cef5361a631dffe1cd1cb66af2acbfa9b2ed816-rimg-w1024-h684-dcd9f1fe-gmir.jpg?v=1763559099 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/371d5491de6cb89f7c4735b77ee7d21746791eb909fa8e412fd7a997212c354b-rimg-w400-h400-dcd4effe-gmir.jpg?v=1763559099 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Fri, 05 Dec, 2025 at 05:30 pm - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Lecture Theatre 3, Sibson Building, Park Wood Road, Canterbury, United Kingdom - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 0 up to 0 USD - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** art, literary-art - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about From Africa to Ashdown Forest: Protected areas through a cultural lens ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "From Africa to Ashdown Forest: Protected areas through a cultural lens", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/e8e9f61c5b1afa5f6cf127906cef5361a631dffe1cd1cb66af2acbfa9b2ed816-rimg-w1024-h684-dcd9f1fe-gmir.jpg?v=1763559099", "startDate": "2025-12-05", "endDate": "2025-12-05", "url": "https://allevents.in/canterbury/from-africa-to-ashdown-forest-protected-areas-through-a-cultural-lens/100001972726703675", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Lecture Theatre 3, Sibson Building", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "Park Wood Road", "postalCode": "CT2 7PE", "addressLocality": "Canterbury", "addressRegion": "EN", "addressCountry": "GB" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "51.2987866", "longitude": "1.0612839" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Join the flagship lecture at the Conservation Research Symposium, presented by Dr Mark Infield (Landscape Recovery Manager, Ashdown Forest)", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-05", "availabilityEnds": "2025-12-05", "validFrom": "2026-04-05", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/canterbury/from-africa-to-ashdown-forest-protected-areas-through-a-cultural-lens/100001972726703675" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-05", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-05", "url": "https://allevents.in/canterbury/from-africa-to-ashdown-forest-protected-areas-through-a-cultural-lens/100001972726703675", "price": 0, "name": "General Admission" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/durrell-institute-of-conservation-and-ecology/25006657", "description": "The Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology (DICE) is an internationally renowned teaching and research institute based in the UK.
