There are four main reasons why we should not give up on elms: their beauty (what is the human value of beauty?) their functional properties (resistance to maltreatment and stress, even on difficult sites) their cultural history (5000 years of close association with human culture) their contribution to biodiversity (in a single area in Europe, 79 species of insects are specialized on elm). It is not a lost battle to fight for the elm. It has been demonstrated that sanitation can work, that induced resistance can be effective, that resistant elms can be developed. This symposium is expected to give more signals of hope and encouragement that the elm can have a future in addition to its fascinating past. |
