8:30 AM – 10:00 AM Working Groups: Parallel Processing
Participants will be assigned to small groups to identify emergent themes from the
conference. Example questions to be explored include:
10:00 AM – 10:30 AM Break
• Does global change require a slight modification, major modification, or total
overhaul of current conservation approaches?
• Can we imagine a bold new way of “doing conservation”?
• What are our conservation targets and how do we get there?
Each group in this session will work with the same set of questions. Discussion
outcomes will be shared in a plenary and will inform product development.
