Monday, 10 February 2025 Great interest in the EVMC 2025 conference

The Faculty of Environmental Protection together with partner organisations (UP FAMNIT, UL Biotechnical Faculty, Julius Kühn Institute, Hunting Association of Slovenia and the Slovenian Forestry Institute) is organising the 14th European Conference on Vertebrate Management, which will take place in Ankaran, Slovenia, between 12th and 16th May 2025.

The conference continues the tradition of previous meetings known as EVPMC, but with an expanded focus on the inclusion of all vertebrate species and various management approaches, including ecology, monitoring, and species conservation.

The main sections of the conference, covering the latest and most intriguing topics across a wide range of disciplines, include:

  • ecology, physiology and behaviour;
  • taxonomy and genetics;
  • population monitoring and management;
  • human-animal conflicts and social dimension;
  • (invasive) alien vertebrates;
  • crop and urban systems;
  • health, zoonotic pathogens and parasites;
  • rodenticide resistance;
  • new tools and methods.

With over 200 research contributions from more than 40 countries, EVMC 2025 will bring together a diverse international community of experts to share experiences, present new discoveries, and foster collaborations that will shape the future of vertebrate management.

We are particularly pleased to welcome distinguished keynote speakers:

  • Ancuta Fedorca, National Institute for Research and Development in Forestry ˝Marin Dracea˝, Romania;
  • Atle Mysterud, University of Oslo, Norway;
  • Heidi C. Hauffe, Fondazione Edmund Mach; National Biodiversity Future Center (NBFC), Italy;
  • Joaquin Vicente Baños, Instituto de Investigación en Recursos Cinegéticos, Spain;
