Las mariposas son uno de los grupos mejor conocidos de invertebrados y su conservación ha sido planteada desde los primeros momentos del movimiento conservacionista. España posee una de las faunas más ricas de mariposas entre los países europeos, con un elevado número de especies endémicas y una alta diversidad, especialmente en zonas de montaña como la cordillera Cantabro-Pirenaica, el Sistema Central, el Sistema Ibérico y Sierra Nevada. Gracias a una importante recopilación de datos realizada recientemente para la publicación de un Atlas de Mariposas, tenemos en la actualidad la posibilidad de plantear la conservación de estos insectos con criterios sólidos y utilizando técnicas relativamente sofisticadas. De esta manera podemos realizar selecciones de especies y áreas, que permiten afirmar que la mayoría de los mejores espacios para estos insectos se encuentran dentro de la actual red de espacios protegidos. La profusión de datos permite además plantear acciones concretas de conservación de espacios, como las llevadas a cabo en Cantabria a raíz de una petición cursada por su gobierno regional. Señalaremos no obstante, qué espacios pueden ser añadidos a la red actual por sus valores lepidopterológicos y qué especies es necesario proteger además de las ya actualmente contempladas en nuestra legislación. Con respecto a las amenazas cabe señalar como más importantes la destrucción del hábitat y los cambios en el uso del territorio, sobre todo los que se refieren al abandono de los usos tradicionales agrícolas y ganaderos. El cambio climático también constituye un factor a tener en cuenta, que podría amenazar la presencia en nuestro territorio de algunas especies en un plazo no muy largo. Las mariposas constituyen un grupo clave para la conservación de los invertebrados, ya que su presencia y abundancia son señales de un buen estado de conservación de los ecosistemas naturales. Al proteger estos insectos emprendemos acciones que, a modo de paraguas, sirven para preservar otros grupos menos conocidos de invertebrados.

IE is glad to invite you and the members of your network to join the sixth in a series of videoconferences titled Biotechnology Management Today, on Thursday, May 20th at 15:00 (Madrid local time).

Speaker:

Carolina Aguilar - Neuromodulation\'s Market Development Manager for Europe and Central Asia (ECA). Medtronic European Headquarters, Switzerland

Content:

This conference will give an overview about how medical technology innovation will fundamentally transform health care delivery, providing new solutions that might have been considered science fiction just some years ago but that are quickly becoming the standard of care. It will focus on the barriers and drivers of the Medical Device industry compared to the Pharmaceutical industry explaining why the pace of the medical invention is accelerating leading to an extremely attractive market space.

Carolina Aguilar will also showcase one of these examples of medical innovation, covering the journey from pipeline to market of Medtronic Deep Brain Stimulation, a technology for which Medtronic has been recognized as one of the world\'s most innovative companies by MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) in March 2010.

Bio:

Since July 2008, Carolina Aguilar has been the Market Development Manager for Europe and Central Asia for Medtronic - the leader in medical technology providing lifelong solutions for people with chronic diseases. Her role covers the strategic analysis of the market conditions, prioritization of needs, development of strategic solutions and execution of tailored-made plans for a sustainable growth in the different countries of the European Union and Central Asia

Carolina holds a Pharmacy degree from Universidad Complutense de Madrid, a Master\'s in Neurotoxicology from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in USA and an Executive MBA from the IE Business School in Madrid. After her early years of undertaking scientific research in the area of Neurosciences in USA, she successfully led the introduction of the Greek cosmetic company, APIVITA Natural Products, into the Spanish Market in her function as Country Manager. After this challenging business experience, she joined Medtronic Spain in June 2006, working as a Marketing Manager in the Neuromodulation department and moved on to Medtronic\'s European headquarters in Switzerland in 2008 where she continues working today.

Carolina Egea directed her career toward management. She has won several awards in the field, while she was developing her work as Technical Project Management I + D + i of the Comunidad de Madrid. Today, she works as professor of Project Management in Research at Aliter School of Business in their Master Program and as Managing Director of the Company Diomune.

Marta De Vicente began her career in the pharmaceutical industry in one of the leading multinationals of the sector in the field of pharmaceutical research. Then refocused her career towards management after completing her Master\'s degree at Aliter School of Business. Since 2006, she has been working at SecuGen as Head of Business Development and Quality.

There will be a Questions and Answer Session after the lecture.

This event will take place in Conference Room 2 (Sala Capitular).

Jacob van Etten is the Dean of the IE School of Biology, Professor in Biology and Ph.D. in Production Ecology and Resource Conservation and Social Sciences, Wageningen University (ND). Dr. van Etten, has worked for the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the International Rice Research Institute. His main research interests are the role of natural resources in sustainable development, the integration between biological and social sciences, and geographical modeling.

The lecture will feature a discussion about our dealings with food, disease and the natural environment shapes human culture. Humans have now definitively taken the future of the planet in their hands. Do we know enough about our own environment to carry this responsibility?

La conferencia será impartida por el Dr en Botánica Felipe Domínguez (Universidad Complutense de Madrid).

La actividad está enmarcada dentro del programa de la asignatura de cuarto curso \"Conservación y Gestión de Especies amenazadas\"

La conservación de plantas silvestres en España es una actividad que ha experimentado un auge continuo desde el siglo pasado. Esta motivación conservacionista descansa en unos sentimientos fuertemente arraigados en la sociedad. Un respeto por las plantas que ha sido canalizado a través de la ciencia Botánica encargada de dotar de herramientas útiles para la conservación óptima de las especies amenazadas. Por ejemplo, las actividades de seguimiento demográfico han permitido conocer la dinámica poblacional de Borderea chouardii una especie de las más amenazadas en España. En otro caso los bancos de germoplasma, el cultivo y la reintroducción han permitido la vuelta a la vida de especies extintas (véase Diplotaxis siettiana). La reintroducción es una actividad donde nuestro país ha sido pionero, con casos como el de Silene hifacensis.

Quizás uno de los factores que contribuyan a explicar el interés conservacionista por las plantas en España sea la alta concentración de especies raras o amenazadas con respecto a Europa: Sierra Nevada es paradigmática con un número de especies catalogadas fuera de lo común. La lista de acciones de conservación es amplia y variada pero ¿cuáles son las amenazas más frecuentes en nuestro país? Dos parecen ser las más comprobadas, la herbivoría por ungulados y el desarrollo de infraestructuras. La relación de los ungulados, silvestres o domésticos, con la flora endémica o amenazada tiene diversos enfoques, con casos como los de Cazorla, el Teide o Vella pseudocytisus.

Después de lo visto, ¿cuál es el futuro de la conservación de plantas?

Para responder este interrogante, pueden ser claves dos aspectos: la aparición de un profesional encargado de su seguimiento y custodia en el medio natural (agentes de protección de la naturaleza) y por otro el desarrollo cultural del respeto por las plantas de la sociedad, tanto ex situ (jardines y parques botánicos) como in situ (ecoturismo).
