The Organising Committee of Second Global Summit on Sustainable Development of Biodiversity (Gloss 2011) welcomes oral and poster presentations. All speakers, including keynote speakers and session chairs, are kindly requested to submit their abstracts to the secretariat by Email: sainathpati2011@gmail.com.
The Presentations, both oral and in poster format, have been categorized into 5 different technical sessions that, together with keynote presentations, constitute the comprehensive agenda of the Global Summit. The posters are associated with the technical sessions. The poster sessions will not be held in the conference hall where the technical sessions are organized. A separate venue has been allotted for poster sessions. The delegates interested to present their posters are required to come with their posters when their associated technical sessions are held.
The moderated discussion shall be stimulated at the end of each technical session which will capture observations on the gap and insights about future policies, programmes and actions initiated.

All the delegates are encouraged to participate and contribute their inputs meaningfully towards formulating international agenda in these brain storming discussions.
