Based on her many years’ research in conservation theory (1-9), Patricia Engel will hold a workshop on the ways of applying or adapting the European conservation theory to Indonesian cultural setup. The workshop will not only seek to find a path towards a new conservation theory appropriate for Indonesia, but will also allow the discussion of problems in the European conservation theory. Another result will be a theoretical scheme of approaching the issue that can hopefully be applied to many cases.
Mandatory requirement for launching this work is discussing the terms and definitions that have been in circulation so far and have not been applied consistently. The definitions are well chosen and recommended for application.
