The 4th International Congress on Orchid Conservation follows on from the successful congresses held in Perth (Western Australia) in 2001, Sarasota (Florida) in 2004 and San José (Costa Rica) in 2007. We are now experiencing dramatic changes in most aspects of our life. Modern technologies are being devised and deployed with increasing frequency; although they make our lives easier, their consequences, such as pollution of air, soil and water, greatly increase the pressure on our already stressed environment. To keep up with the rapidly growing human population, agricultural practices tend to be more and more intensive, which has a negative effect on biodiversity in agricultural landscape. Due to human activities, global temperature is increasing, with unpredictable consequences on ecosystems. Therefore, we have decided to dedicate this congress to „Orchids in a Changing World“. We hope that this theme will offer much scope for discussion.
