The first day of Oikos 2012 was busy and interesting with talks about land-locked salmon in Lake Vänern, environmental warming, catch-and-release of pike and zander. After lunch we were sad to announce that Stefan Bleckert (Vice President of Nature Conservation, Sveaskog) had to cancel. To our excitement the other key-note speakers made great presentations and all contributed to an interesting debate about GMO, policies, views on how ecologists should spread their results and much more. Many thanks to all speakers, and an extra salute for the panel-debaters:
- Mikael Karlsson, Chairman of the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation (SSNC/SNF)
- Björn Risinger, Director-general of the new Swedish government authority “Havs- och vattenmyndigheten”
- Jan Bengtsson, Chairman of Svenska Föreningen Oikos and Professor in Ecology at Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences
