 lobal change now, more than ever before, is threatening society and biodive
 rsity around the planet. The Antarctic region is no exception, and whilst l
 argely considered to be pristine, and a “nature reserve, devoted to peace a
 nd science”, it is actually at risk from multiple pressures. The Antarctic 
 Peninsula has experienced one of the most rapid temperature rises in the So
 uthern Hemisphere, and managing invasive species has been labelled as the n
 umber one priority of the Antarctic Committee for Environmental Protection 
 (CEP). Tourist numbers to the region continue to grow and each year more co
 untries are interested in joining the Antarctic Treaty System and being inv
 olved with the governance of Antarctica. We are only beginning to understan
 d what these changes mean for Antarctic science, biodiversity and society.<
 /p><p>What can the Oceania region do to help address future Antarctic chall
 enges and in what way can we contribute to perpetuate the aims of the Antar
 ctic Treaty and the Protocol for Environmental Protection?</p><p>The <stron
 g>1st APECS Oceania symposium</strong> aims to bring together early career 
 Antarctic researchers from across Oceania to address these questions and hi
 ghlight what our region can contribute to tackling future Antarctic challen
 ges.</p><p>This two days Symposium will include keynote presentations from 
 prominent Antarctic Scientists, APECS Oceania Members and 2 x half day work
