We warmly welcome you to Tartu for the 6th International Swan Symposium, hosted jointly by the Estonian University of Life Sciences and the Estonian Ornithological Society, and co-organised with the Wildfowl and Wetland Trust from the UK. We sincerely thank our Partners and Sponsors for their support of the meeting. e International Swan Symposium is a truly international event, which continues a series of meetings of the Wetlands International/IUCN-SSC Swan Specialist Group (SSG) held over the past 45 years. e SSG is a global network of swan specialists working on the monitoring, research, conservation and management of swan populations. In particular, it aims to facilitate e ective communication, and to transfer of knowledge and best practice, between SSG members and others with an interest in swan management and conservation. Previous international symposia of the Wetlands International/IUCN-SSC Swan Specialist Group have been held at Slimbridge (UK, 1971), Sapporo (Japan, 1980), Oxford (UK, 1989), Virginia (USA, 2001), and Maryland (USA, 2014). Information about these meetings and the SSG’s recent activities are available on the group’s website at http://www.swansg.org/. In 2018, the 6th International Swan Symposium will be held from 16–19 October in the main building of Estonian University of Life Sciences in Tartu, Estonia. e symposium aims to share knowledge on swans from across the globe, with information presented on their biology, habitats, population dynamics, census techniques, monitoring, management and conservation. A workshop on the implementation of the AEWA International Single Species Action Plan for the conservation of the Bewick’s Swan is scheduled for the last day of the meeting. We have excellent speakers from Eurasia and America, with 36 oral presentations and 12 posters covering a variety of swan species. We anticipate more than 80 delegates from 17 countries, and have planned a full itinerary for your visit. We hope that you will take this opportunity to discover Tartu, which is a second largest city in Estonia with populated of 100,000 people. It is a historical Hanseatic city and a main university town. Dating back to 1030, it is the oldest city in Estonia.
