<P><FONT face="Microsoft Sans Serif" size=3>The <STRONG>Australasian Vertebrate Pest Conference</STRONG>, to be held in Darwin 10-13 June 2008, is the 14th in a series recommended by the Vertebrate Pests Committee (VPC). The conference is held triennially, with the last conference convened in Wellington, New Zealand in May 2005. The 2008 AVPC will be organised in conjunction with the Invasive Animals Cooperative Research Centre and the Northern Territory's Dept. of Natural Resources, Environment and the Arts.<FONT face=sans-serif size=2><BR></P></FONT></FONT>
<P><FONT face="Microsoft Sans Serif" size=3>The role of VPC is to provide coordination in policy, planning and overall strategies which address pest animal problems. The upcoming conference is timely given that VPC has just released its’ Australian Pest Animal Strategy (APAS) which will provide a national framework for the management of pest animals for the next five years. Through these triennial conferences, VPC aims to increase the exchange of ideas, knowledge and innovations of all those involved in pest animal management in Australia and New Zealand as well as internationally.</FONT><SPAN><SPAN><SPAN><SPAN><SPAN><FONT face="Microsoft Sans Serif" size=3><BR><BR>All information with regard to the conference can be found on this site which will be updated on a regular basis. <BR><BR>We look forward to seeing you in Darwin in June 2008. <BR></FONT><BR>
