Sažetak
South-eastern Europe is among European hot-spot regions with high biodiversity. This biodiversity includes intraspecific, interspecific and ecosystem diversity and high endemism rate. This region is however also characterized by a high diversity of political and economical systems of individual states in the region, ranging from developed European Union members to underdeveloped countries. The problem of biodiversity conservation on one hand and modern development on the other is a demanding task, particularly in southeastern transitional countries, and requires specifically trained specialists – conservation biologists. Though conservation biology is considered the science of the 21st century and a prerequisite for effective biodiversity conservation, very few university curricula in the region offer specialized courses in conservation biology. In order to continually enhance education and capacity building in the field of scientifically sound biodiversity conservation, from 2005 the Croatian Biological Society has started with organization of an annual international graduate School of Conservation Biology (SCB). Through an intensive 9-days course, the School provides basics on conservation biology from population to ecosystem levels, including labs and field courses. Through interactive classes, SCB provides graduate students with insight in the latest trends, state of the art knowledge and available methodologies/tools in applied research focused at biodiversity conservation. The impact/success of SCB is analyzed based upon (i) student’s evaluation, (ii) representation of students from different European countries, and (iii) possibility of students to apply and disseminate obtained knowledge in their work.
