Tuesday 12th February marks 'Darwin Day', the anniversary of the birth of the naturalist Charles Darwin. The first event took place in 2000, with 'Darwin Day' since developing into a global celebration of science and humanity, with lectures and events taking place at many universities tomorrow. 2009 will see the celebration of the 200th anniversary of Darwin's birth and the 150th anniversary of the publication of 'On the Origin of Species'.

Topical information for researchers, policy advisers and the public who are interested in the interaction between ecology and public policy.
What is Policy?
"A policy is a deliberate plan of action to guide decisions and achieve rational outcome(s)." (Wikipedia)
Policy making is: 'the process by which governments translate their political vision into programmes and actions to deliver 'outcomes' - desired changes in the real world. (Modernising Government White Paper, 1999). (Civil Service Policy Hub)
