About the Society<br />
The Society for Conservation Biology (SCB) is an international professional organization dedicated to advancing<br />
the science and practice of conserving the Earth’s biological diversity. The Society’s membership is comprised<br />
of a wide range of people interested in the conservation and study of biological diversity: resource managers,<br />
educators, government and private conservation workers, and students.<br />
The Society is a global community with representatives from over 100 countries. It is organized internationally<br />
by seven Regional Sections that initiate activities relevant to conservation needs on their continents or in their<br />
oceans. The Society provides many benefits to its community, including global and regional policy programs,<br />
conferences, free online access to publications for members in developing countries, and a very popular online<br />
job board. SCB also administers the prestigious David H. Smith Conservation Research Fellowship Program,<br />
sponsored by the Cedar Tree Foundation, that supports young professionals in conservation science.<br />
Publications<br />
SCB is the leading voice for the study of the scientific phenomena that affect biodiversity conservation, publishing<br />
the flagship peer-reviewed journal of the field, Conservation Biology, and the online journal, Conservation Letters.<br />
Affiliated publications include Conservation magazine, Pacific Conservation Biology, and Biological Conservation.<br />
Many of the scientific advancements presented at the Congress will be published in these journals.<br />
The North America Section<br />
The North America Section of the Society for Conservation Biology represents the entire North America region,<br />
but the current representation on the board is primarily from Canada and the United States. We have high hopes<br />
this particular Congress will bridge a stronger connection with our colleagues working in Mexico. The activities<br />
of the North America Section include a strong policy focus and collaborations with other science and wildlife<br />
interest groups based in North America. In this way, the North America Section maintains a strong presence for<br />
the society. We are interested in fostering and increasing our role throughout the continent. The bi-annual North<br />
America Congress for Conservation Biology represents an important step in this direction.<br />
Our second bi-annual Congress is held in collaboration with the annual conservation research symposium run by<br />
the Montana Society for Conservation Chapter.<br />

Welcome from NA Section President<br />
Welcome to the SCB North America Congress for Conservation Biology. As I begin my term as<br />
President of the North America Section of SCB, I am grateful to the dedicated organizers of<br />
NACCB 2014 who have made this meeting a success, as well as to the hard work that Dominick<br />
DellaSala has contributed as president of the section since 2009. The section’s next biennial<br />
congress is scheduled for 2016 in the Great Lakes region. Look for an announcement of the<br />
exact location during the section members meeting, which takes place on Monday evening at<br />
the Payne Native American Center.<br />
Many organizations share SCB’s goal to conserve biological diversity. What makes SCB unique in its<br />
capacity to advance this goal is our 4,000 members and over 50 chapters (almost 40 of which are<br />
in North America). The collective expertise of our members bridges the natural and social sciences,<br />
as well as the worlds of research and conservation practice, and gives SCB a unique role in<br />
bringing science to bear on conservation policy issues. The efforts of our policy program in using<br />
conservation science to inform policy focus on several core areas: endangered species<br />
conservation, the effects of climate change and energy development on biodiversity, and<br />
scientific integrity issues.<br />
The past year has been a period of transition for the section policy program. As of June 1, the<br />
section has its first North America Policy Director, Doug Parsons. The large number of students<br />
involved in SCB’s chapters allows our organization to work with emerging leaders in conservation<br />
science and facilitate their acquisition of policy-related skills. Doug is especially interested in<br />
building the section’s capacity to train our members in science communications skills, including<br />
social media, so look for announcements on this topic in the coming year.<br />
SCB is unique in being able to affect policy at broad scales by partnering with other professional<br />
societies and coordinating among our chapters and sections. During 2013, the section not only<br />
worked with SCB’s North American chapters to produce policy statements on a range of issues.<br />
The North America section also worked with other SCB sections to launch a global synthesis of the<br />
role of the world’s remaining roadless areas. We also worked with SCB’s Marine Section on issues<br />
including comments on marine mammal acoustic threshold levels.<br />
Although I am proud of these accomplishments, I also recognize that going forward, we as a<br />
scientific society have to work harder to remain relevant to your goals as conservation scientists.<br />
Many of you now receive access to SCB’s journals via your institution. Attending a biennial<br />
conference is not enough in itself to make you feel that SCB is your organization. In 2014, the<br />
section will begin a planning effort to ‘think outside the box’ as to what services we can provide<br />
to make your membership worthwhile. How should SCB allocate its efforts and resources between<br />
work at the local, regional, and global scales? Should the section hold conferences more (or less)<br />
often than every other year? Please talk with me and other board members or email me at<br />
carlos@klamathconservation.org with your ideas about what activities can make the section<br />
relevant to your needs. And please remember to support SCB and your North America Section by<br />
joining the section when you renew your membership dues.<br />

Welcome from Steering Committee chairs<br />
June 13, 2014<br />
Welcome to Missoula!<br />
On behalf of the local organizing committee, we are pleased to welcome you to the 2nd North America<br />
Congress for Conservation Biology (NACCB 2014). Our planning efforts for this Congress started in 2012 and the<br />
entire process has been a wonderful collaboration of colleagues, graduate students, faculty, and individuals<br />
practicing conservation biology locally and throughout North America. The number of volunteers grew with<br />
time and each deserves a “THANK YOU”. Our various meeting committees along with others from the MT SCB<br />
Chapter, NA Section Board, and the global SCB office all worked hard on the many important details to create<br />
this congress.<br />
Coming to the Missoula area affords the opportunity to experience an area nestled by five mountain ranges<br />
with extraordinary views of the natural areas that surround the valley. The Missoula Valley has lush riverine<br />
habitat being fueled by the Clark Fork, Blackfoot, and Bitterroot Rivers. We hope you find time to ‘go for a float’<br />
on the Clark Fork through downtown Missoula or take a stroll through Greenough Park along Rattlesnake Creek<br />
which originates in the Rattlesnake Wilderness Area just north of town. Nearby natural areas, including federal<br />
wildlife refuges, wilderness areas, national forests, Yellowstone and Glacier National Park, and Tribal areas, offer<br />
additional opportunities to go for a hike, observe beautiful scenery and wildlife, or go fishing in blue-ribbon<br />
trout waters. However, like managing any area, long-term conservation of Montana is difficult; takes nove<br />
approaches, working in interdisciplinary teams, and collaboration amongst numerous stakeholders.<br />
The Missoula Valley and its surrounding landscape are facing many conservation challenges. To meet<br />
these challenges and continue to achieve conservation results, we need to persistently challenge disciplinary,<br />
cultural, political, national, and social boundaries. Working across these boundaries is essential for<br />
conservation. There are common underpinnings and mutually desirable outcomes across these boundaries<br />
that will assist us in advancing conservation. This congress is a great opportunity to come together, listen,<br />
learn, and assist each other in Crossing Conservation Boundaries.<br />
We are thrilled to host NACCB 2014 and thank you for joining us. We hope everyone has a wonderful shared<br />
experience and we’ll plan to reunite in 2016.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Lisa A. Eby and Victoria J. Dreitz,<br />

Large conferences usually mean a significant environmental impact. However, the coordinating committe<br />
has worked hard to minimize this impact. After all we are the world’s leading conservation society.<br />
University of Montana Farm to College (FTC) Program brings fresh, locally grown and<br />
processed food to campus through direct relationships with local farmers, ranchers, and<br />
businesses. UM Dining (UMD) initiated the FTC Program in the spring of 2003 in partnership with<br />
the Environmental Studies Program. It was the first program of its kind in Montana and is now<br />
leading the partner for institutional sustainable food purchasing. From apples to zucchini, local<br />
products are used year-round in every UMD managed food venue on campus. If you have<br />
questions, please contact the Director of UMD Sustainability at (406) 243-4042.<br />
UM Dining (UMD) on-campus garden is a way for UMD to grow some of our own food and<br />
offer a learning laboratory for students on campus. Our goal is to create a demonstration<br />
model for a sustainable closed-loop food production system that produces food for our guests<br />
while generating academic collaboration and educational opportunities for students and the<br />
community at large. Closed-loop means that we seek to control each step of the way from<br />
saving seeds in the fall, growing them in the spring, and composting the garden waste material<br />
to ensure proper soil care.<br />
UMD works to continually better our facilities and practices. One of the major problems dining<br />
services faces is waste reduction and diversion from the Missoula landfill. To do this we have<br />
switched many of our products to eco- and compostable corn-based biodegradable products<br />
that break down more readily than their plastic counterparts. These include our to-go containers<br />
outside of the reusable container pilot program, napkins, utensils, and service ware.<br />
Eco-friendly Initiatives by the Local Organizing Committee<br />
• The coordinating committee made a conscience decision this year to reduce the amount of<br />
schwag produced and given away to the attendees.<br />
• In order to reduce paper cup usage, we have given all participants a stainless-steel<br />
mug sponsored by Conservation Science Partners to use throughout the conference. PLEASE<br />
make sure to bring your mug or personal water bottle to the conference everyday! There<br />
are water stations offered in several designated areas of the conference. See building maps<br />
located in the Map Section of the program. If you lose, forget, or would just like to have<br />
another mug, there will be a limited amount on sale at the NACCB Information Booth.<br />
• NACCB volunteer t-shirts have been designed using recycled plastic & cotton.<br />
• Name badges from recycled products have been chosen with the intent to re-use for the next<br />
conference. Look for baskets at the NACCB & Registration booths to return your name badge<br />
on your way out.<br />
• Campus Recycle bins have been distributed across campus for your use. See building maps<br />
located in the back of the program.<br />
• The Closing Cermony will be catered by local restaraunt, Scotty’s Table, who is committed to<br />
sustainable and environmentally friendly practices extended from farmers and growers like<br />
Clark Fork Organics, Blue Willow Farms and the Western Montana Growers Co-op.<br />

Carbon Offset Project<br />
In an effort to make our 2nd North America Congress for Conservation Biology<br />
Meeting a carbon-neutral event, NACCB has partnered with ClearSky Climate<br />
Solutions to support offsets for conference-related greenhouse gas emissions.<br />
The opportunity to bring conservation professionals from around the country<br />
together in Missoula is an exciting and invaluable one, but large events such as this<br />
have a cost for our global environment. Air travel, ground transportation, conference venues, lodging, and food<br />
and beverage all leave footprints on the earth. As part of our commitment to combating ecological<br />
degradation, NACCB will donate $20 from each conference registration fee to offset this impact.<br />
Darkwoods Forest Carbon Project<br />
There is not just one feature that makes Darkwoods such an important natural treasure. The property contains<br />
a multitude of special characteristics. Some of these are tangible, like the plants and animals that make their<br />
home here. Others are less easy to see, but just as vital to the long-term protection of nature and culture in the<br />
region. For example, Darkwoods is an important source of clean water that pours into Kootenay Lake and other<br />
water bodies. It is also a highly valued part of the wilderness backyard to the surrounding communities, who use<br />
it for recreation and resources.<br />
The acquisition of the 136,000-acre Darkwoods property by the Nature Conservancy<br />
of Canada (NCC) in April 2008 represents the largest private conservation project in<br />
Canadian history. Darkwoods protects important habitat for at least 19 species at risk,<br />
including an endangered herd of mountain caribou and an isolated population<br />
of grizzly bear. Located in south-eastern British Columbia, just north of the Idaho/<br />
Washington state border, the project links with large tracts of adjacent lands to<br />
protect more than 250,000 acres, enhancing connectivity for many wide-ranging<br />
Cultus Creek, Darkwoods, BC<br />
species. Darkwoods provides multiple conservation benefits,<br />
including the protection of inland temperate rainforest, as well as contributing to the<br />
preservation of important freshwater systems throughout the South Selkirk Mountains<br />
(affects 17 watersheds, with more than 50 lakes on-site).<br />
The Darkwoods Forest Carbon Project is an “Improved Forest Management” project<br />
which results in greenhouse gas reductions and removals through the avoidance of<br />
emissions due to logging, as a result of the conservation purchase and management<br />
of the property. The project was validated and verified by Rainforest Alliance (RA) and<br />
Scientific Certification Systems (SCS) in accordance with the Verified Carbon Standa<br />
(VCS) – under the Improved Forest Management on Privately Owned Properties in<br />
Temperate and Boreal Forests methodology, resulting in issuance of internationallyrecognized<br />
Verified Carbon Units (VCUs). The project is also currently undergoing<br />
Caribou - Photo Garry Beaudry<br />
validation under the Climate Community and Biodiversity Alliance (CCBA) standard.<br />
VCS is the leading international forest carbon standard and Darkwoods ranks among the largest VCS-validated<br />
forest carbon projects in North America. The Darkwoods Forest Carbon Project won the 2011 Land Award from<br />
the Real Estate Foundation of B.C. for leadership, innovation and collaboration in sustainable land use in B.C.<br />

Missoula & surroundings<br />
Nestled in a valley hugged by five mountain ranges, Missoula is Montana’s second most populous city, home<br />
to the state’s first university, and an area rich with diverse flora and fauna. The unusually lush habitat is fueled<br />
by the Clark Fork, Blackfoot, and Bitterroot Rivers, and protected by the Bitterroot Mountains, Sapphire Range,<br />
Rattlesnake Mountains, Garnet Range, and the Reservation Divide.<br />
Local wildlife, including black bears, osprey, elk, bank swallows, bald eagles, westlsope cutthroat trout, beavers,<br />
and just over 100,000 humans all call this vibrant valley home. Nearby, federal wildlife refuges, national forests,<br />
Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks, the University of Montana’s (UM)Lubrecht Experimental Forest, and UM’s<br />
Biological Station at Flathead Lake offer unparalleled opportunities for wildlife study and observation.<br />
A politically and culturally progressive city, Missoula offers the perfect microcosm of boundaries to observe during<br />
the conference. Despite living in a thriving urban landscape, Missoula area residents and University students<br />
continue to identify and overcome the cultural and national boundaries that impede conservation.<br />
Often referred to as the “Garden City,” Missoula lies at the heart of a region known<br />
for its uncommonly temperate winters and warm, fruitful summers. Founded in 1860 as<br />
Hellgate Trading Post, Missoula later found economic stability through a flourishing local<br />
lumber industry, the foundation of the University, and the arrival of the U.S. Forest Service<br />
Headquarters.<br />
July in Missoula means a big blue sky and dry sunny days (highs of 28°C / 84°F) - perfect<br />
for field trips, walks around town, and river time. Make sure to ask the locals about what is<br />
worth seeing or doing, because we are a friendly bunch here in Missoula all with different<br />
interests and tastes; you might just find out about something you’d never have known was<br />
so great. Get out there and find out what Missoula has to offer!<br />

Hike/Bike or Walk -Missoula is also a wonderful pedestrian-friendly town. Paths along the downtown riverfront<br />
are at the heart of Missoula’s trail network. Walking and bicycling paths along the Clark’s Fork of the Columbia<br />
River connect city parks and open space, neighborhoods, businesses and the University of Montana. Routes<br />
branching off this central corridor link urban Missoula with its surroundings and provide far-reaching access to<br />
the great Montana outdoors. For more info visit: www.missoulian.com/app/hikebike<br />

Instructions for Moderators<br />
Moderator Roles & Responsibilities<br />
1. Please bring your own watch or clock and arrive to your session room a little earlier than<br />
the scheduled time for the session to start. Check that all speakers are present and their<br />
presentations are loaded before the start of the session. Consult speakers about any questions<br />
regarding pronunciation of names.<br />
2. Check the sound and projector system and discuss back-up plans with the audio-visual<br />
volunteer in case of failure.<br />
3. Check the lights and discuss who will control them with the projectionist. Try to have dim<br />
lighting in the back of the room that can be left on during the presentation. This aids notetaking<br />
and safe movement of people in and out of the room during talks.<br />
4. Please START the session on time, even if it appears that not everyone is there yet.<br />
5. Encourage speakers to leave a few minutes for questions at the end of their talk and<br />
provide simple but effective time checks: e.g., use a visual or vocal signal when there are<br />
3 minutes remaining, stand-up when there is one minute remaining, and walk to the podium<br />
and politely indicate that their allotted time has come to an end.<br />
6. Try to have at least one question ready for each talk in case there is time for questions and<br />
none arise from the audience. For the benefit of those sitting further back, be sure that<br />
speakers repeat questions from the audience, especially those from front rows.<br />
7. Announce any cancelled talks. You can use the time from a cancelled talk for questions but<br />
please do NOT move the program forward when a paper is cancelled.<br />
8. Keep track of all cancelled talks on the paper list provided to you in the room and give it to<br />
the volunteer at the end of the session.<br />
SPEED PRESENTATIONS ADVICE FOR MODERATORS<br />
Speed Talk sessions will consist of a block of 12 talks (4 minute talk, 1 minute speaker transition).<br />
1. The brevity of speed presentations creates a culture of tight timing that affects the<br />
moderation of the session too. For example, time can be saved if the speakers introduce<br />
themselves while the volunteer opens the next computer file. Transition time can also be<br />
minimized if all the speakers are asked to sit in the front row in the sequence in which they will<br />
speak.<br />
2. Give presenters a clear signal when they have 30 seconds left; stand up when they have 10<br />
seconds left so that you are ready to displace them from the podium when their time is over.<br />
3. Strongly encourage the audience to stay for the 10 minute question period at the end of<br />
each hour.<br />

Interdisciplinary Conservation Education: Strategies for Attracting a Diversity of Learners<br />
Organizer(s): Martha Groom, University of Washington Bothell & Seattle<br />
Short Course - ID: SHRT4 - UC 330, Saturday, 8:00 am - 5:00 pm<br />
Description: In this short course, we will present a synthesis of principles of effective course design and active<br />
and interdisciplinary teaching, and will guide participants as they explore how to develop courses that attract<br />
a diversity of students and strengthen interdisciplinary conservation training. The course will be interactive, as<br />
participants share their ideas and teaching practices, while trying on new ideas and working through preliminary<br />
plans for course re-design. The two organizers and 2-3 guest speakers will lead the group through a number of<br />
interactive exchanges, presentations, and hands-on activities, to share experiences in teaching conservation to<br />
a diverse student population, introduce the principles of course design and guide the participants as they<br />
prepare a plan for a new or revised conservation-related course of their own.<br />
An Overview of Structured Decision Making<br />
Organizer(s): Donna Brewer, USFWS<br />
Short Course - ID: SHRT5 - Todd 210, Saturday, 8:00 am - 5:00 pm<br />
Description: This introductory course was developed to provide conservation managers, policy makers, and<br />
scientists with an overview of SDM and the skills a manager would need to frame and analyze a decision; the<br />
quantitative aspects of decision analysis are not emphasized. This course meets all the goals outlined by SCB by<br />
instructing managers, policy-makers, and stakeholders on a suite of systematic and transparent processes for<br />
making better decisions which integrate science and policy to address challenging political and biological<br />
conservation boundaries.<br />
Writing Science in Plain English<br />
Organizer(s): Anne Greene, University of Montana Wildlife Biology Program<br />
Short Course - ID: SHRT6 - Todd 203, Sunday, 8:00 am - 12:00 pm<br />
Description: Let’s face it, most journal articles, grant proposals, are badly written – so badly that it’s hard to read<br />
and understand them. It doesn’t have to be that way! By learning a dozen straight-forward principles and basic<br />
grammar, scientists can transform their writing from obtuse and wordy to clear and concise. Join Anne Greene,<br />
author of the successful book Writing Science in Plain English, and learn how you can quickly become a better<br />
scientific writer.<br />
Advances in Conservation Impact Evaluation and Causal Inference<br />
Organizer(s): Paul Ferraro, Andrew Young School of Policy Studies, Georgia State University<br />
Short Course - ID: SHRT7 - Todd 204, Saturday & Sunday, 8:00 am - 5:00 pm<br />
Description: The short course covers: potential outcomes and counterfactuals; creative designs for experimental<br />
conservation projects; partial identification; conditioning strategies; detecting and measuring sensitivity to hidden<br />
bias; estimating heterogeneous impacts; decomposing impacts into mechanism effects; panel data designs;<br />
synthetic controls; instrumental variables; and theory-based evaluations. The conservation community lacks<br />
opportunities for tailored professional development in these themes.<br />
A Hands-on Introduction to Applied Social Network Analysis: Tools for Visualizing<br />
and Processes<br />
for Bridging Social Divides in Conservation Projects<br />
Organizer(s): Ken Vance-Borland, The Conservation Planning Institute<br />
Short Course - ID: SHRT10 - UC331, Sunday, 8:00 am - 5:00 pm<br />
Description: If you need a new way to resolve complex conservation challenges, this<br />
workshop will introduce you to the promising tools of social network analysis (SNA)<br />
and network weaving. You’ll learn when and where to apply SNA, gain hands-on<br />
experience with data gathering, mapping and analysis, and try out network weaving--and best, you’ll leave with<br />
an idea of where you could use SNA in your own work to support conservation outcomes.<br />

Pre-Congress Workshops<br />
Building a Roadmap to a Broader Community: An Open Meeting<br />
of the SCB’s Committee on Diversity<br />
Organizer(s): Mary Blair, Center for Biodiversity and Conservation, American<br />
Museum of Natural History; Eleanor Sterling, Center for Biodiversity and<br />
Conservation, American Museum of Natural History<br />
Workshop - ID: WK3 - UC 326/327, Sunday, 8:00 - 10:00 am<br />
Description: The formation of the Society for Conservation Biology’s<br />
Diversity Committee was motivated in part by the desire to break down<br />
existing boundaries between those within the conservation community and<br />
those that face pervasive barriers to entrance, participation, and full<br />
membership. In North America, institutional and structural barriers have<br />
prevented equal participation of historically underrepresented groups in the conservation sciences. This workshop<br />
will represent a convening of the SCB Diversity committee as well as an open discussion with SCB North America<br />
section members to review committee goals and objectives with a particular focus on SCB’s North America<br />
section.<br />
Social Media for Better Science and a Better Society for Conservation Biology<br />
Organizer(s): Carina Wyborn, University of Montana; Carlos Carroll, Klamath Center for Conservation Research;<br />
Nathan Spillman, SCB Global Office; Emily Darling, University of North Carolina; David Shiffman, University of Miam<br />
Workshop - ID: WK4 - UC 330, Sunday, 8:00 am - 12:00 pm<br />
Description: Social media makes it easier than ever for scientists to share their findings and to engage journalists,<br />
policy makers and the interested public. Whether you use online tools to share stories, promote conservation<br />
campaigns or connect with colleagues, social media has a vital role to play in shaping the future of conservation.<br />
In this workshop we examine the new communication dynamic between scientists and the public and provide<br />
tools and strategies you can use. Join us for advice on creative and effective ways to use social media to<br />
advance your science, your career, and your cause.<br />
Integrated Population Modeling for Threatened Species Management<br />
Organizer(s): Paul Lukacs, University of Montana<br />
Workshop - ID: WK6, UC 330, Sunday, 1:00 - 5:00 pm<br />
Description: Management decisions for threatened and endangered species often rely on multiple data sources<br />
of which no single source tells the whole story of the conservation status of the species. Integrated population<br />
models (IPMs) provide a statistical framework to link multiple data sources to a population dynamics model.<br />
IPMs combine concepts from matrix modeling, population viability analysis, and statistical estimation to provide<br />
a synthetic view of population trajectory. This workshop will highlight IPM structure, data sources and most<br />
importantly inference from the model results. IPMs offer a way to bring data sets together that may have been<br />
collected across agency, political or social boundaries improving inferential potential for all involved. IPMs also<br />
stretch the quantitative boundaries of biologists to help them think more clearly about the ecological and<br />
sampling processes involved in managing their species of interest.<br />
The Role of Hunting in Modern Conservation Biology & Hunter Education Certification<br />
Organizer(s): Luke Macaulay, University of California, Berkeley; Mark Heath, Shelterbelt Builders; Charlie de la<br />
Rosa, UCLA<br />
Workshop - ID: WK9 - Todd 203, Saturday Part 1, 8:00 am - 5:00 pm<br />
Description: As conservation priorities have shifted away from an early focus on game species management<br />
toward biodiversity and ecosystem conservation, many conservation biologists have little experience with<br />
hunting. Despite this, the tax and fee revenues from hunting provide the predominant source of funding for state<br />
wildlife agencies, and hunters can be vocal and influential stakeholders regarding conservation efforts ranging<br />
from wetland restoration to gray wolf re-introductions to lead-free bullet initiatives. This workshop<br />
seeks to improve understanding of current conservation issues involving hunting, discuss ways to improve<br />
cooperative conservation efforts, as well as offering an option to complete a hunter safety and education<br />
course required by U.S. states and Canadian provinces to hunt. A tentative agenda may be found at<br />
www.conservationhunters.org.<br />

a field course walk which will provide guidance in safely navigating obstacles in the field, survival skills, fie<br />
dressing of game, shot placement, tracking, what happens after the shot, how to approach etc. Participants<br />
will have the opportunity to shoot firearms at the range<br />
Social Science Working Group Sponsored Workshops<br />
Indigenous-led Conservation in North America: Best Practices in Collaboration<br />
Organizer(s): Robin Roth, York University<br />
Workshop - ID: WK10 - UC 332, Saturday, 1:00 - 5:00 pm<br />
Description: Considerable land of high conservation value exists under the purview<br />
of indigenous peoples throughout the world. In North America, traditional lands are<br />
increasingly the target of outside conservation efforts at the same time that<br />
indigenous communities are seeking ways of implementing a conservation vision<br />
for those same lands, often in the face of excessive resource development pressures. The proposed<br />
workshop will be an opportunity for communication across this significant boundary that challenge<br />
effective conservation. Members of the SCB will hear from indigenous communities who have led innovative<br />
collaborations for conservation within their traditional territories and will participate in a discussion on how to<br />
effectively work with indigenous communities on conservation projects.<br />
The Conservation Social Sciences: Elucidating “What?”, “How?” and “Why?” to Inform Conservation Practice<br />
Organizer(s): Nathan Bennett University of British Columbia; Robin Roth, York University<br />
Workshop - ID: WK11 - UC 333, Saturday, 12:00 - 5:00 pm<br />
Description: Conservation practitioners and organizations recognize the importance of the conservation social<br />
sciences and are increasingly engaging in and funding conservation social science research. Yet conservation<br />
organizations and funders often lack a clear understanding of the breadth of sub-disciplines in conservation<br />
social sciences, the types of questions that each sub-disciplines poses, the methods used by sub-disciplinary<br />
specialists, or the potential contribution of each sub-discipline to conservation practice and outcomes. This<br />
workshop aims to bring together specialists from the breadth of the conservation social sciences to define the<br />
contributions of their sub-disciplines to conservation through exploring the “What?”, “How?” and “Why?” of<br />
each area of expertise. The purpose of this facilitated workshop is to provide conservation organizations with<br />
a means to define their social science research agendas. The workshop will lead directly to co-developed<br />
publications. We are looking to have active conservation social scientists and representatives from<br />
organizations engaged in conservation social sciences attend this workshop.<br />

Post-Congress Workshops<br />
Communicating Landscape Science Workshop: Finding the Narrative of Landscape Science<br />
Organizer(s): Yvette Converse, Great Northern Landscape Conservation Cooperative; Gary Tabor, Center for<br />
Large Landscape Conservation<br />
Workshop - ID: WK7 - UC 332, Thursday 8:00 - 10:00 am<br />
Description: This workshop will focus on learning how to communicate science to constituents including<br />
the public. The workshop will accommodate 12-18 people to focus on using “strategic storytelling” for<br />
communicating science, meaning using stories for a purpose of conveying scientific information that the<br />
public can and wants to understand (as opposed to describing facts or self-expression). The workshop is built<br />
around the WSP (word, sentence, paragraph) Model, which is presented in the Connection Storymaker App<br />
which Dr. Olson makes free to the participants. (Dr. Olson’s The Scientist Videographer blog story: The<br />
Storymaking App for your Science Videos at: www.thescientistvideographer.com/wordpress/tag/randy-olson/)<br />
Sharing Science with the Conservation Community: A Users Experience with Data Sharing Platforms<br />
Organizer(s): Mitchel Hannon<br />
Workshop - ID: WK8 - UC 333, Thursday, 8:00 - 10:00 am<br />
Description: Practitioners working in land conservation and management have tremendous need for access<br />
to scientific research that can inform their decision making. DataBasin and ArcGIS online offer web base<br />
platforms for sharing data and creating collaborative workspaces to aid in land conservation and management.<br />
Both offer different capabilities to share your data and provide access to other key shared datasets and<br />
tools that can help in your own analysis. In this workshop both platforms will be demonstrated. As a consumer<br />
of both platforms we find ourselves in a position to share how these developing platforms can help in land<br />
conservation work and the dissemination of scientific information to land conservation practitioners and adv -<br />
cates. Conservation biologists and natural resource scientists should<br />
become familiar with both platforms and consider them as an outlet for their scientific research results. This has<br />
the likelihood of greatly enhancing their exposure and availability to those that need it to effectively protect<br />
species and habitat.<br />
Congress Field Trips<br />
We have planned a spectacular line up of field trips led by an impressive group of naturalists. Don't miss out<br />
on one of the best parts about coming to an SCB Congress. Please remember that you must register and pay<br />
for field trips through the Congress. You may bring guests on field trips even if they are not registering for th<br />
NACCB - check with the Registration Desk to see if there are still availabilities.<br />
Birding Trips Offered by Local Naturalists -<br />
During the Congress explore the early morning hours of the ecological<br />
communities surrounding Missoula,<br />
Location: Missoula, MT<br />
Date: July 14, 15, and 16, 2014<br />
Time: 5:30 a.m. - 7:45 a.m.<br />
Participants: 15 (max)<br />
Cost: $ 15 per person<br />
Each trip will consist of transportation to a site within 20 minutes of Missoula for early morning birding activities,<br />
including sight and sound identification, discussion about local species assemblages, and visits to riparian a -<br />
eas along either the Bitterroot or Clark Fork rivers. This is a great way to start the morning of each conference<br />
session by spending time with colleagues and enjoying<br />
the opportunity to learn more about the local flora and fauna in the Missoula Valley. Transportation will be<br />
provided to and from the birding sites. Please bring your own binoculars.<br />

Congress Field Trips<br />
Crossing Cultural Boundaries in Wildlife Conservation: Resource Management<br />
on the Flathead Indian Reservation, a State Within a State<br />
Location: Flathead Indian Reservation (1 hour from Missoula)<br />
Date: July 17, 2014<br />
Time: 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.<br />
Participants: 25 (max)<br />
Cost: $ 70 per person<br />
The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes (CSKT) have called the boundaries<br />
of the Flathead Indian Reservation (FIR) their home since leaders signed the 1855 Treaty of the Hellgate. FIR<br />
is 1.3 million acres of mountains and valleys located in western Montana, approximately 1 hour from Missoula.<br />
The CSKT are a sovereign Nation, and within the boundaries of the FIR, they have<br />
the right to govern and manage those lands. Federal, state and some private<br />
entities wishing to do several types of work there must communicate with CSKT on<br />
a government to government level. Under Federal government statutes, CSKT is<br />
equal to the State of Montana. The CSKT Natural Resource Department manages<br />
FIR resources including water, air, fish, wildlife, and roads. Though the U.S. Fish and<br />
Wildlife Service-National Bison Range and Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks are<br />
managing fish, wildlife, and habitats on lands they own within the FIR boundary,<br />
the Tribes manage all other Tribal and Trust lands.<br />
The FIR includes productive and situated between the Mission Mountains to the<br />
east, the Salish Mountains to the west, Flathead Lake to the north, and south to<br />
the Missoula Valley. The reservation is a desirable destination for Flathead Lake and River recreation, hiking,<br />
waterfowl hunting, and various environmental/natural resource research. The CSKT have successfully challenged<br />
numerous extractive and environmental damage incidences by corporations on and adjacent to Reservation<br />
lands. The Tribes have also partnered with various state and federal agencies to minimize damages to<br />
Reservation lands.<br />
This full day field trip will include tours and field talks by CSKT Natural Resource staff. Stops will include highwa<br />
mitigation projects/wildlife crossing structures, river and wildlife habitat mitigation properties, fish and wildlife<br />
restoration projects, and a discussion on the Mission Mountains Tribal Wilderness.<br />
Restoration without Borders: Watershed Restoration on the Nez Perce-Clearwater<br />
National Forest<br />
Location: The Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest (1.5 hours from Missoula)<br />
Date: July 18, 2014<br />
Time: 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.<br />
Participants: 20 (max)<br />
Cost: $ 45 per person<br />
The Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest is a regional leader in watershed<br />
restoration. In a partnership between the US Forest Service and the Nez Perce Tribe, they have leveraged<br />
millions of dollars to restore fish and wildlife habitat on the forest. Located in in central Idaho and adjacent to<br />
the county’s largest wilderness complex, the Nez Perce Tribe restoration program is working with a vision that<br />
one day the extirpated grizzly bear will again feed on pacific salmon. With a legacy of extensive roa<br />
building and logging, the tribe and forest have systematically recontoured hundreds of miles of roads and<br />
restored countless stream crossings. They have also worked to make their remaining road system more<br />
permeable to fish and wildlife while reducing risks associated with floods and climate chang<br />
For this 1-day field trip we will be joined by representatives from the Forest Service, Nez Perce Tribe, University<br />
of Montana, and Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative who have managed and researched this<br />
large-scale restoration effort for the last 15 years. We will travel along the historic Lewis and Clark Trail over<br />
Lolo Pass and into Idaho’s Lochsa Valley (about 1 hour drive from Missoula). We will hike along previous<br />
treated sites to learn about the effectiveness of the restoration and discuss the challenges of this sometimes<br />
contentious work. We will also visit a current restoration project and view an excavator reclaiming a road. This<br />
will include hands-on restoration work with the participants assisting with revegetation efforts on restored roads.<br />

Congress Field Trips<br />
Private and Public Partnerships: Community Conservation in the Blackfoot Valley<br />
Location: Blackfoot Valley (1 hour from Missoula)<br />
Date: July 17, 2014<br />
Time: 9 a.m. - 5 p.m<br />
Participants: 25 (max)<br />
Cost: $ 75 per person<br />
Over the past 40 years, the Blackfoot Watershed has become a pioneer landscape<br />
demonstrating the success of collaborative conservation. From water to weeds to wildlife,<br />
a community-based approach involving a host of public and private partners has become<br />
“the way of doing business” to benefit the area’s resources and communities. Join us for a day-long tour of the<br />
Blackfoot Valley to see these innovative approaches to large landscape conservation first-hand<br />
The Blackfoot River runs through some of the most productive fish and wildlife habitat in the Northern Rocky<br />
Mountains. Unlike most other major valleys in western Montana, the Blackfoot Valley is relatively undeveloped.<br />
Sprinkled throughout the 1.5 million-acre watershed are some 2,500 households and seven communities; the<br />
valley has seen limited residential subdivision, and ranching remains the principle<br />
agricultural use. The ranchers who manage the valley floor are stewards of prairie<br />
wetland complexes that attract sandhill cranes, black terns and trumpeter swans,<br />
to name a few. Tributary streams to the Blackfoot River that flow through ranches<br />
provide crucial spawning and rearing habitat for our rare native bull trout and<br />
westslope cutthroat trout. The valley forms the southern edge of the Northern<br />
Continental Divide Ecosystem that supports the largest population of grizzly bears in<br />
the lower 48 states.<br />
This tour will take participants to various locations within the Blackfoot Valley to view stream and forest<br />
restoration projects, tour working ranches, and visit private lands protected by conservation easements. We<br />
will be joined by representatives from Big Blackfoot Chapter of Trout Unlimited, Blackfoot Challenge, Five<br />
Valleys Land Trust, Southwestern Crown Collaborative and The Nature Conservancy, all working together to<br />
preserve the valley’s exceptional wildlife, mosaic of habitats and rural way of life.<br />
Conversations in Crossing Conservation Boundaries: A look at private lands conservation<br />
on the Flying D Ranch<br />
Location: Ted Turner’s Flying D Ranch, Bozeman, MT (3 hours from Missoula)<br />
Date: July 17-18, 2014<br />
Participants: 15 (max)<br />
Cost: $ 135 per person<br />
Ted Turner’s Flying D Ranch is a spectacular 113,613 acre property located near the<br />
city of Bozeman in southwest Montana. The property operates as a working bison ranch, and is managed in<br />
an economically sustainable and ecologically sensitive manner, while promoting the conservation of native<br />
species.<br />
The Flying D stretches from east of the Gallatin River to west of the Madison River, and shares a boundary with<br />
the Gallatin National Forest to the south. A diverse topography – from steep, wooded land to rolling meadows<br />
– supports the full suite of pre-Columbian native fauna, including: grizzly bears, black bears, wolves, coyotes,<br />
foxes, mountain lions, elk, mule and whitetail deer, antelope, moose, eagles, hawks, owls, sandhill cranes, and<br />
great blue heron. Major projects implemented by TESF on this property include work to monitor and research<br />
gray wolves that first established residency on the Flying D in 2002, as well as a significant native trout initiativ<br />
that has resulted in a thriving population of genetically pure westslope cutthroat trout – purportedly soon to be<br />
the largest east of the Continental Divide in Montana.<br />
We will depart Missoula on the morning of July 17th and travel 3 hours to the ranch in southwestern Montana.<br />
The trip will incorporate an overnight stay at the ranch’s Cow Camp, and will include a ranch tour and wolf<br />
howling safari on the afternoon and evening of July 17th, as well as a field tour and ramble in the morning of<br />
July 18th. As part of the trip, we will engage in discussions about the value of wild, private, working landscapes<br />
to species conservation, and a fireside chat with Dr. Michael Soulé about the state of conservation biology<br />

Conservation Biology, Politics and Policy—What Does It Take for Science and Scientists to Make a Difference?<br />
Organized by Mike Phillips, Dominick DellaSala and David Johns<br />
Panel: Dan Ashe, Dominick DellaSala, James C. Greenwood, David Johns, Mike Phillips and Bob Ream<br />
Conservation Biology, like medicine, is a mission driven discipline. It is not just about accumulating scientific<br />
knowledge and insight but applying both to heal the natural world. With anthropogenic-caused extinction<br />
rates rising and ecological systems being degraded at unprecedented rates finding and implementin<br />
solutions is more and more urgent. Many conservationists—and not just those in SCB but in advocacy NGOs,<br />
agencies, or acting as individuals—are trained in the natural sciences. Although some have political<br />
experience, many or most lack in-depth knowledge of the political process and what it takes to achieve<br />
conservation in policy fora. A troubling number seem to disdain and discount politics. Those with political<br />
knowledge mostly have experience with “insider” approaches - providing information to decision-makers,<br />
making recommendations and the like. Few if any have experience with “outsider” strategies such as the sort<br />
of mass mobilization and organizing that, e.g. ended segregation in the US or brought 20 mill people into streets<br />
on the first Earth Day<br />
For conservation science to assist in redressing the problems that threaten Earth’s biological diversity,<br />
conservation biologists have to more fully engage in all aspects of the political process. The plenary session<br />
proposed here will consider practical ways to accomplish that engagement through discussing the roles<br />
individual scientists can and should play in the decision making process and exploring why organizing is<br />
necessary and communication is not enough.<br />
For meeting participants that are interested, there will be an informal session scheduled immediately after this<br />
plenary to have smaller group discussion with the speakers to continue the conversation on how to engage in<br />
all aspects of the political process in the UC commons after the break at 10:00 a.m.<br />
The Panel:<br />
Dan Ashe was confirmed on June 30, 2011 as the 16th Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife<br />
Service, the nation’s principal Federal agency dedicated to the conservation of fish and<br />
wildlife and their habitats. Prior to his appointment as Director, Ashe served as the Service’s<br />
Deputy Director for Policy beginning in 2009, where he provided strategic program direction<br />
and developed policy and guidance to support and promote program development and fulfill<br />
the Service mission. Ashe also served as the Science Advisor to the Director of the Fish and<br />
Wildlife Service. Appointed to this position in March, 2003, he advised the Service Director and<br />
provided leadership on science policy and scientific applications to resource management. As Science<br />
Advisor, Ashe led an organizational renaissance for science and professionalism, leading the Service’s efforts<br />
to respond to changes in the global climate system; shaping an agency agenda for change toward a<br />
science-driven, landscape conservation business model; defining an agency Code of Scientific and Prof -<br />
sional Conduct; authoring new guidelines for scientific peer review and information quality; building state-of<br />
the-art, electronic literature access for employees; and reinstituting internal scientific publication outlets. His<br />
prior positions included Chief of the National Wildlife Refuge System (1998-2003), the Fish and Wildlife Service’s<br />
Assistant Director for External Affairs (1995-1998) and was a Member of the Professional Staff of the former<br />

Conservation Across National Borders<br />
Organized by Brett Dickson, Vicky Dreitz, and Richard Jeo<br />
Panel: Karsten Heuer, Richard Jeo, H. Ronald Pulliam<br />
Conservation boundaries are often defined by country borders. North America’s two major borders have<br />
differing global recognition. The US-Canada border is commonly described as the longest undefended border<br />
in the world. The US-Mexico border represents the difference range of economic levels. While these borders<br />
express differing pressures, both share a common characteristic – numerous transborder conservation initiatives.<br />
Many government and conservation organizations have been successful with initiatives in respond to the threat<br />
of biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation. This plenary we will highlight the ecological, sociocultural,<br />
economic, and political consideration to establish conservation initiatives across national borders.<br />
The Panel:<br />
Karsten Heuer is President of the Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative (Y2Y). The<br />
Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative is a joint Canada-US not-for-profit organization<br />
that seeks to preserve and maintain the wildlife, native plants, wilderness and natural processes<br />
of the mountainous region from Yellowstone National Park to the Yukon Territory. Before working<br />
with the Y2Y Conservation Initiative, Karsten worked as a wildlife biologist, wilderness park ranger,<br />
and supervisor for the Canadian National Parks Service for 18 years. He is also an explorer, author<br />
and filmmaker known for his epic trips which pair conservation issues with high adventure. His firs<br />
such project was The Yellowstone to Yukon Hike (1998-99) which he chronicled in his best-selling books, Walking<br />
the Big Wild. Karsten’s work has earned him numerous awards, including a US National Outdoor Book Award,<br />
the Sigurd Olson Nature Writing Award, the Banff Mountain Book Festival’s Grand Prize, and the Wilburforce<br />
Conservation Leadership Award.<br />
Richard Jeo is Director of the Montana Chapter of The Nature Conservancy (TNC). Richard<br />
joined Montana TNC as director in 2013 after achieving conservation success in the North Fork<br />
of the Flathead River, collaborating across borders as director of the TNC Canada<br />
Program. He initially joined the Conservancy in 2003 as part of the team producing the Greater<br />
Caribbean Basin Ecoregional Assessment. In 2005, he headed to chillier climes, beginning as<br />
Senior Scientist for Canada’s Great Bear Rainforest project, then heading the Coastal Forest Programs, before<br />
becoming Director of the entire Canada Program.<br />

Fun Fact:<br />
The University of Montana was founded in 1893. The main campus is located at the foot<br />
of Mount Sentinel, the mountain bearing Missoula’s most recognizable landmark, a large<br />
hillside letter “M.” First constructed in 1908 by university students, Missoula’s hillside “M”<br />
sits at 620 feet above the city of Missoula, although it’s just 3/4 mile to “M,”<br />
it seems much further with its steep incline and 11 switchbacks.<br />

The Consequences of Thinking Big: Conservation Across Cultures for Landscape-Scale Results<br />
Organized by Chris Filardi, Doug Clark, Eleanor Sterling<br />
Panel: Eleanor Sterling (moderator), Leo Douglas, Kiki Jenkins, Jess Housty, Linaya Workman, Germaine White<br />
Achieving large landscape conservation in North America requires strategies with diverse actions implemented<br />
across complex societal, cultural, as well as ecological boundaries. Gone are the days of working primarily on<br />
public lands. To pursue conservation on scales increasingly called for by Conservation Biology, actions must<br />
engage varied cultural approaches to basic resource management questions, and must reflect how diverse<br />
stakeholders value different species and ecological communities. Additionally, biological boundaries and<br />
conservation priorities are often misaligned with political, cultural, or societal boundaries, complicating approaches<br />
to working across the social and biological dimensions of landscape conservation.<br />
In response, conservation movements worldwide are actively seeking ways to better understand diverse points<br />
of view and co-create common visions. This panel and associated symposia will bring together people with<br />
diverse identities and experiences working across cultural boundaries with sustained positive results. Through<br />
plenary discussion and diverse presentations, the event aims to highlight key issues relevant to achieving<br />
positive cross-cultural conservation outcomes. By reflecting upon the diversity of perspectives and approach<br />
across our own species, we can begin to see ourselves not as one movement, but as a species divided by<br />
richness that may provide the precise admixture of humanity necessary to confront the complex tasks before us.<br />
The Panel:<br />
Moderator: Eleanor Sterling<br />
Dr. Sterling¹s primary research is focused on behavioral ecology, particularly of endangered<br />
animals, turtles and tortoises, and on biogeography and its application to conservation. She also<br />
focuses on tools for elucidating spatially explicit information on species and assemblages of<br />
species. A scientist with interdisciplinary training in biological and social sciences, Dr. Sterling has<br />
performed field research in Africa, Asia, and Latin America and currently co-leads genetic,<br />
epidemiological and behavioral ecology research on the sea turtles of also Palmyra Atoll, the<br />
Solomon Islands, and the broader Pacific. She is also considered a world authority on the aye-aye,<br />
a nocturnal lemur found in Madagascar. At AMNH she has engaged in systems-level research on<br />
endangered species and high biodiversity ecosystems, and on the intersection between biodiversity, culture, and<br />
languages and the<br />
factors influencing resilience in biocultural approaches to conservation. In 200 Dr. Sterling spearheaded the<br />
establishment of the CBC¹s Network of Conservation Educators (NCEP), an international group that develops<br />
sound biodiversity conservation practice by improving conservation training at the undergraduate, graduate<br />
and professional level.<br />

• PLENARY SESSION: CONSERVATION BIOLOGY, POLITICS AND POLICY—WHAT DOES IT TAKE FOR SCIENCE AND<br />
SCIENTISTS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE?<br />
Dennison Theatre<br />
Monday, July 14, 8:00 to 9:30<br />
Conservation Biology, like medicine, is a mission driven discipline. It is not just about accumulating scientific<br />
knowledge and insight but applying both to heal the natural world. With anthropogenic-caused extinction<br />
rates rising and ecological systems being degraded at unprecedented rates finding and implementing<br />
solutions is more and more urgent. Many conservationists—and not just those in SCB but in advocacy NGOs,<br />
agencies, or acting as individuals—are trained in the natural sciences. Although some have political<br />
experience, many or most lack in-depth knowledge of the political process and what it takes to achieve<br />
conservation in policy fora. A troubling number seem to disdain and discount politics. Those with political<br />
knowledge mostly have experience with “insider” approaches - providing information to decision-makers,<br />
making recommendations and the like. Few if any have experience with “outsider” strategies such as the sort<br />
of mass mobilization and organizing that, e.g. ended segregation in the US or brought 20 mill people into streets<br />
on the first Earth Day.<br />
For conservation science to assist in redressing the problems that threaten Earth’s biological diversity,<br />
conservation biologists have to more fully engage in all aspects of the political process. The plenary session<br />
proposed here will consider practical ways to accomplish that engagement through discussing the roles<br />
individual scientists can and should play in the decision making process and exploring why organizing is<br />
necessary and communication is not enough.<br />

• SYM 34 APPLICATIONS OF BIODIVERSITY METRICS ON PRIVATE LANDS FOR CONSERVATION OUTCOMES<br />
GBB 106<br />
Monday, July 14, 10:00 to 12:00<br />
Organizer(s): Ashton Drew, Jennifer Costanza<br />
Most land in the USA is privately owned and unprotected, such that conservation lands occur as patches within<br />
a landscape managed primarily for commercial value. As populations continue to grow, private lands must<br />
meet increased demands to produce food, fiber, fuel, to provide living space, and to provide the corridors that<br />
move energy and goods. Biodiversity conservation requires that some lands be set aside for protection, but can<br />
also benefit from effective partnership with the private landowners of unprotected lands. Multiple projects<br />
globally have been addressing methods to quantify the biodiversity value of alternative land development and<br />
management practices in agricultural, silvicultural, and urban settings. These metrics are designed as a means<br />
towards informing and changing individual decisions to piece by piece improve the conservation value of<br />
these landscapes. We propose a session with two parts, one to focus on the science of the metrics (e.g., How is<br />
biodiversity being measured and reported?) and one to focus on the application of the metrics (e.g., How are<br />
biological biodiversity metrics being assigned social values and applied to promote conservation objectives?).<br />

ENGAGEMENT<br />
UC 330/331<br />
Monday, July 14, 10:00 to 12:00<br />
Organizer(s): Andrew Gregory<br />
In this symposium, we highlight researchers who have used their affiliation with local SCB Chapters to<br />
successfully breach this traditional barrier, and bring science to the public. SCB Chapters are deeply involved<br />
with their communities through organizing e.g. volunteer opportunities or citizen science projects. This<br />
symposium highlights benefits received by scientists who have successfully integrated research with their local<br />
SCB Chapter. Likewise, we will highlight the benefits that public engagement brings to local Chapters in terms<br />
of their effectiveness as 21st century conservation entities. Specifically we highlight how chapter outreach<br />
improves leadership, organizational, communication skills, and the ability of scientists to apply their research to<br />
solve real-world problems. We will end the symposium with a panel discussion on what engagement might<br />
mean for scientists and local chapters in the 21st century.<br />

Organizer(s): Amanda Stanley, Matt Williamson<br />
This symposium will challenge scientists’ and practitioners’ assumptions about the role of science in<br />
conservation decision-making in hopes of developing a more integrated approach for the future. We will<br />
explore what it takes to ask questions that are decision relevant; the benefits and limitations of a science-based<br />
approach to advocacy; and how collaboration and partnerships across organizations can be effective for<br />
navigating the challenging socio-political landscape that surrounds many conservation issues. Speakers from<br />
across sectors (NGOs, agencies, academia, grant makers) will give an overview of the challenges and<br />
opportunities, as well as concrete examples of how scientists and conservation organizations are partnering<br />
together successfully. Speakers will provide helpful recommendations for linking science to action. A closing<br />
round-table discussion will address questions raised during the presentations.<br />

ALLENDORF<br />
GBB 122<br />
Monday, July 14, 10:00 to 4:30<br />
Organizer(s): W. Chris Funk<br />
The purpose of this symposium is twofold: first, to highlight recent advances in conservation genetics and the<br />
emerging field of conservation genomics; second, to honor Fred Allendorf’s fundamental role in the genesis of<br />
conservation genetics and his invaluable contributions to the conservation of imperiled species.<br />
Allendorf is one of a handful of people that founded the field of conservation genetics. He was one of the first<br />
to apply genetics to real-world conservation problems and he has continued to advance the application of<br />
genetics, and now genomics, to pressing conservation problems. Genomics is also pushing the boundaries of<br />
conservation biology by dramatically improving estimation of gene flow and demographic parameters, and<br />
perhaps most importantly, allowing us to characterize adaptation better than ever before for species of<br />
conservation concern.<br />

• SYM 28 RECONSIDERING DUALISTIC THINKING ON NON-NATIVE SPECIES AND THEIR ROLE IN CONSERVATION<br />
GBB 106<br />
Monday, July 14, 1:30 to 5:30<br />
Organizer(s): Julian Olden, Dov Sax<br />
This symposium aims to invest in “boundary work,” that is, in constructive efforts to facilitate and further<br />
communication and consensus building across the fences that separate communities and their different<br />
viewpoints. This symposium specifically tackles perhaps the largest obstacle to successful boundary work,<br />
namely dualistic thinking, by bring together scientists, philosophers, and conservation practitioners to challenge<br />
the axiomatic “native good, alien bad” paradigm and participate in a balanced debate regarding the often<br />
complex, and sometimes contradictory, role of non-native species in conservation. Those charged with<br />
managing non-native species must confront a variety of values, including the value of individual organisms,<br />
species, ecosystems, biodiversity, wildness, and varied human interests of present and future generations.<br />
Consequently, the symposium aims to reconcile conflicting concerns by considering how the boundaries of the<br />
existing paradigm on non-native species can be pushed in directions that are productive for conservation.<br />

Organizer(s): Viorel Popescu, Wendy Palen<br />
This symposium aims to elevate discussion around renewable electricity on two fronts. First, we will summarize<br />
existing knowledge on sector- and taxa-specific impacts, and provide an agenda for future research on<br />
cumulative impacts of distributed energy development for species and ecosystem conservation. Second, on a<br />
strategic level, we want to integrate renewable energy considerations into the broader topic of energy<br />
portfolios in North America, spanning geopolitical and ecosystem boundaries, and highlight the need for<br />
inclusive strategic planning approaches of renewable energy development in an era of cheap unconventional<br />
oil and gas.<br />

• SOCIAL SCIENCE WORKING GROUP: SYM 44 INFORMING INTEGRATED APPROACHES TO ADDRESSING HUMAN-<br />
WILDLIFE CONFLICT THROUGH SOCIAL SCIENCE<br />
Todd 203/204<br />
Monday, July 14, 1:30 to 6:00<br />
Organizer(s): Tara Teel, Douglas Clark<br />
Human-wildlife conflict (HWC) is a global phenomenon with serious implications for biodiversity conservation<br />
and human well-being. Studies from around the world provide evidence of the severity of the conflict and<br />
point to the need for more integrated, cross-disciplinary approaches that can attend to the social aspects of<br />
this situation. Failure to adequately address HWC is not only likely to result in far-reaching ecological, social, and<br />
economic costs but can also reduce local support for conservation efforts. Development of effective solutions<br />
to this growing problem begins with identification of underlying causes of HWC as well as potential constraints<br />
to conflict mitigation; many of which are social rather than biological in nature. In particular, a better<br />
understanding of these social factors at multiple scales and through the lens of different social science<br />
disciplines is needed. Through selected case studies examining the social dimensions of HWC in North America,<br />
this symposium is intended to raise awareness about the utility and practice of social science research in HWC<br />
management. We will conclude with a facilitated discussion, allowing opportunities for audience experience<br />
sharing and further exploration of social science contributions in the HWC context. By aiming to broaden<br />
scientific perspectives on key conservation issues such as HWC, our intent is clearly aligned with the conference<br />
theme of “challenging conservation boundaries” as well as SCB’s goals.<br />

UC 326/327<br />
Monday, July 14, 1:30 to 6:00<br />
Organizer(s): Joseph Northrup, Jesse Tigner, Cole Burton, George Wittemyer<br />
This symposium challenges conservation boundaries by bringing together diverse stakeholders that often are at<br />
odds with one another to work towards achievable and effective outputs with major conservation benefits. The<br />
nature of oil and gas development is such that without collaboration, conservation measures are destined to<br />
fail due to insufficient scientific support, lack of industry buy-in, or ineffective regulatory oversight.<br />
The panel discussion will begin by highlighting common barriers to integration of science into mitigation<br />
measures and best management practices. This will be followed by a discussion of the next steps forward for<br />
such integration and will conclude with questions from the audience.<br />

• SYM 7 WILDLAND ECOSYSTEMS UNDER CLIMATE CHANGE: PIONEERING APPROACHES TO SCIENCE AND<br />
MANAGEMENT IN THE US NORTHERN ROCKIES AND APPALACHIANS<br />
UC 330/331<br />
Monday, July 14, 4:00 to 6:00<br />
Organizer(s): Andrew Hansen<br />
International concern about climate change has led to major initiatives to integrate climate science with<br />
natural resource management. Within the US, the Department of Interior created in 2009 Landscape<br />
Conservation Cooperatives (LCCs) charged with implementing climate adaptation strategies across<br />
jurisdictional boundaries. Integrating climate science into management poses several challenges: approaches<br />
for conducting management-relevant vulnerability assessments are underdeveloped; the long time frames and<br />
large spatial scales over which climate impacts are manifest are beyond the scope of current agency<br />
management horizons; and differences in mission, capacity, and culture among federal agencies complicate<br />
coordinated management across jurisdictional boundaries. This symposium will synthesize the results of a project<br />
that is pioneering an approach for climate change adaptation in two benchmark LCCs, the Great Northern<br />
and the Appalachian.<br />

Tuesday, July 15, 8:00 to 9:30<br />
Conservation boundaries are often defined by country borders. North America’s two major borders have<br />
differing global recognition. The US-Canada border is commonly described as the longest undefended border<br />
in the world. The US-Mexico border represents the difference range of economic levels. While these borders<br />
express differing pressures, both share a common characteristic – numerous transborder conservation<br />
initiatives. Many government and conservation organizations have been successful with initiatives in respond to<br />
the threat of biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation. This plenary we will highlight the ecological,<br />
sociocultural, economic, and political consideration to establish conservation initiatives across national<br />
borders.<br />

The Crown Managers Partnership is a diverse group of science and resource management agencies who<br />
voluntarily come together to provide leadership in addressing environmental management issues across the<br />
Crown of the Continent Ecosystem. Originating in 2001, the Partnership includes federal, state, provincial<br />
agency, tribes and First Nations managers from Alberta, British Columbia and Montana. Given that no single<br />
agency has the mandate or resources to focus on the entire region, the CMP seeks to demonstrate a common,<br />
collective institutional capacity across borders to effectively manage the cumulative impacts of human<br />
activities and land use practices on the entire interconnected landscape.<br />

GBB 122<br />
Tuesday, July 15, 10:00 to 12:00<br />
Organizer(s): Taylor Wilcox, Mike Schwartz<br />
Environmental DNA (eDNA) uses samples of the environment such as water, soil and the air to detect the<br />
genetic material of organisms. These methods are highly sensitive and capable of simultaneously detecting<br />
numerous taxa, making eDNA a powerful tool for conservation biology. This symposium spans across taxa,<br />
including fishes, amphibians, reptiles, plants, viruses, fungi, mammals, and arthropods; both aquatic and<br />
terrestrial. This symposium will showcase recent advances in eDNA to detect invasive species, rare native<br />
species, and pathogens, as well as the use of eDNA to study biodiversity and for biomonitoring. Talks will also<br />
discuss new technologies, and address technical challenges to eDNA analysis.<br />

This symposium will discuss several innovative models of non-lethal wildlife conflict management (or<br />
“coexistence”): a practice of using community-based conservation to allow humans and wildlife to share the<br />
landscape while protecting livestock, wildlife and natural biodiversity. The presentations will challenge<br />
traditional attitudes about wildlife conservation by promoting effective non-lethal wildlife conflict<br />
management, a sustainable long-term alternative to lethal wildlife conflict management. The symposium will<br />
feature the following topics: nonlethal deterrents and proactive solutions for human-wildlife conflicts;<br />
developing community-based models of coexistence; coexistence across varied landscapes; stakeholder<br />
involvement in community-wide coexistence projects; strategies for funding community-based coexistence;<br />
and finally, a panel question and answer session addressing social barriers to coexistence and strategies to<br />
break through them.<br />

• SYM 31 CONSERVATION ACROSS BORDERS IN NORTH AMERICA’S TEMPERATE AND BOREAL RAINFORESTS<br />
UC 332/333<br />
Tuesday, July 15, 10:00 to 12:00<br />
Organizer(s): Dominick DellaSala<br />
North America is a global hot spot for the world’s temperate and boreal rainforests representing over 1/3 of the<br />
global total in just three areas: (1) Pacific Coastal temperate rainforests (redwoods to Alaska); (2) Inland<br />
Northwest temperate and boreal rainforests (eastern BC and western Alberta, northern Montana, Idaho,<br />
Washington); and perhumid and hemiboreal rainforests (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland,<br />
Quebec). Collectively, these rainforests contain some of the greatest expressions of biomass on the planet,<br />
world-class salmon fisheries, endemic species on archipelagos, large carnivore assemblages, imperiled wildlife,<br />
and an extraordinary richness of oceanic lichens. They span national borders, tribal and first nations, state and<br />
Canadian provinces, and private and public jurisdictions presenting opportunities and challenges for largescale<br />
conservation. Our objectives therefore are to: (1) present the ecological importance and status of these<br />
rainforests globally and on a region by region basis; (2) showcase robust landscape-scale conservation<br />
strategies for meeting the unprecedented challenge of climate change and land use stressors; and (3) provide<br />
examples of where conservation is making a difference through effective partnerships. Presenters will draw on<br />
experience in each of their regions and a discussion (round-table format) will follow on common themes that<br />
emerge from the presentations.<br />

GBB 122<br />
Tuesday, July 15, 1:30 to 4:30<br />
Organizer(s): Andrew Whiteley, David Tallmon, Chris Funk<br />
The translocation of individuals into small populations is often controversial because it has important potential<br />
costs that must be considered, particularly outbreeding depression. More specifically, limits to our knowledge<br />
regarding the consequences of breeding between individuals from transplant and recipient populations have<br />
represented a substantial boundary to the implementation of genetic rescue. We will directly address this<br />
boundary to the implementation of genetic rescue throughout the talks in this symposium.<br />
The goal of this symposium is three-fold. First, to see if we are nearing general consensus regarding the costs<br />
and benefits of genetic rescue. Second, to see if general conservation and management recommendations<br />
emerge. Third, to identify research on genetic rescue that is critically needed. We are confident that we will<br />
achieve our goals because our symposium will bring together some of the most influential researchers that<br />
have worked on genetic rescue.<br />

This symposium will navigate across disciplinary boundaries by drawing on the perspectives and expertise of<br />
individuals from all three arenas. For example, speakers will address novel themes (e.g., stewardship) and<br />
describe cutting-edge tools (e.g., risk mapping) to explore innovative approaches to value-laden carnivore<br />
conservation. The symposium will also help clarify the real and perceived boundaries between people and<br />
nature with respect to carnivores and is thus highly related to the central conference theme of CHALLENGING<br />

GBB 106<br />
Tuesday, July 15, 1:30 to 5:15<br />
Organizer(s): Robin Steenweg, Jason Fisher, Mark Hebblewhite<br />
As a rapidly-developing field of analytical research, advances in methods are transforming how we think about<br />
remote-camera data and how we use them for applied purposes. Remote cameras now provide data to<br />
count marked and unmarked animals, measure the distribution of species, describe community composition,<br />
and to create relative-abundance indexes to compare across species. These and other advances in<br />
methodology have allowed remote-camera data to answer questions about landscape connectivity, trophic<br />
cascades, human impacts on animal occupancy and interactions, and has engaged many more citizen-<br />
88
scientists into conservation action.<br />
This symposium will highlight recent advances in remote-camera analytical techniques; its widening application<br />
to ecological questions and large-scale conservation concerns; and how remote cameras are encouraging<br />
more involvement from citizen scientists.<br />

UC 332/333<br />
Tuesday, July 15, 1:30 to 6:00<br />
Organizer(s): Terrell Rich<br />
For more nearly 25 years, Partners in Flight (www.PartnersInFlight.org, www.SavingOurSharedBirds.org) has<br />
provided a partnership where those interested in the conservation of Nearctic-Neotropical migrants and<br />
resident landbirds collaborate to assess species and habitat vulnerabilities and to plan conservation actions.<br />
Our goals of helping species at risk and keeping common birds common through voluntary partnerships have<br />
been met by an increasing network of partners across the ranges of these migrants. However, our capacity to<br />
meet these goals is now better than ever due to 1) a variety of technical, scientific advances, 2) ever better<br />
ways of routinely communicating across the large ranges of migrants, and 3) a “conservation business plan”<br />
format that has proven attractive to funding entities.<br />
To that end, collaborative teams have been formed for several ecological regions that geographically link<br />
wintering, breeding, and transit areas. These teams are developing specific sets of programs and projects to<br />
address the most pressing threats for these regions and their highest priority migratory birds. The results will guide<br />
future conservation activities by researchers, educators, conservation practitioners, state and federal agencies,<br />
and philanthropic organizations.<br />

• SYM 25 MORE THAN KEYSTONE: NEWEST INSIGHTS ON EMERGING BROADSCALE THREATS FROM OIL SANDS<br />
DEVELOPMENT IN CANADA AND THE US<br />
UC Theatre<br />
Tuesday, July 15, 1:30 to 6:00<br />
Organizer(s): Maureen Ryan, Thomas Sisk, Wendy Palen<br />
Our symposium will address cross-border issues associated with oil sands development, representing<br />
perspectives from diverse ecosystems in Canada and the US. We will also unpack the policy boundaries that<br />
have compartmentalized public discourse into isolated discussions of pipelines, mining, and climate impacts<br />
that obscure their interconnections. In addition to providing deep background information on oil sands<br />
development and its implications, our explicit intention with this symposium is to build a foundation for longerterm<br />
cross-border collaborations on research, management, and policy engagement. For the oil sands issue<br />
and others, we hope the symposium can serve as a model for how to use SCB section meetings to reach across<br />
the science-policy interface, catalyze scientists’ policy engagement, and mobilize membership to work<br />
collaboratively on the overarching issues of our time. To this end, the symposium includes a series of<br />
coordinated talks, discussions, panel with journalists, and interactive breakout groups.<br />

Wednesday, July 16, 8:00 to 9:30<br />
Achieving large landscape conservation in North America requires strategies with diverse actions implemented<br />
across complex societal, cultural, as well as ecological boundaries. Gone are the days of working primarily on<br />
public lands. To pursue conservation on scales increasingly called for by Conservation Biology, actions must<br />
engage varied cultural approaches to basic resource management questions, and must reflect how diverse<br />
stakeholders value different species and ecological communities. Additionally, biological boundaries and<br />
conservation priorities are often misaligned with political, cultural, or societal boundaries, complicating<br />
approaches to working across the social and biological dimensions of landscape conservation.<br />
In response, conservation movements worldwide are actively seeking ways to better understand diverse points<br />
of view and co-create common visions. This panel and associated symposia will bring together people with<br />
diverse identities and experiences working across cultural boundaries with sustained positive results. Through<br />
plenary discussion and diverse presentations, the event aims to highlight key issues relevant to achieving<br />
positive cross-cultural conservation outcomes. By reflecting upon the diversity of perspectives and approach<br />
across our own species, we can begin to see ourselves not as one movement, but as a species divided by<br />
96
ichness that may provide the precise admixture of humanity necessary to confront the complex tasks before<br />
us.<br />

BASED ON DIVERSE METHODS STRONGER THAN THE SUM OF THEIR PARTS?<br />
GBB 123<br />
Wednesday, July 16, 10:00 to 12:00<br />
Organizer(s): Carlos Carroll<br />
This symposium will feature presentations by researchers who are working to compare and combine different<br />
approaches to devise multi-faceted conservation plans focused on maintaining ecosystem resilience and<br />
conserving biodiversity under changing climates. The goal of integrating diverse perspectives on climate<br />
adaptation is to create plans that are robust to uncertainties about which planning methods are most<br />
effective. The presenters discuss how to compare priority areas from different approaches, test assumptions,<br />
and use a multi-track approach to produce a unified plan. The comprehensive overview of available<br />
approaches to climate-aware conservation planning presented in the symposium will be of wide interest to<br />
conference attendees for both its research and management relevance. The binational geographic scope of<br />
the work of most of the speakers illustrates contrasts and commonalities between the planning context in<br />
Canada and the United States.<br />

• SYM 41 DEVELOPING THE LINKAGE BETWEEN ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION AND CONSERVATION BIOLOGY<br />
GBB 106<br />
Wednesday, July 16, 10:00 to 12:00<br />
Organizer(s): James Hallett, Cara Nelson<br />
The linkage between ecological restoration and conservation biology has been recognized for several years.<br />
By definition, ecological restoration seeks to assist the recovery of degraded or destroyed ecosystems.<br />
Consequently, one of the most common ecological objectives of restoration projects is a conservation<br />
objective: reestablishment of native species composition and community structure. Ecological restoration also<br />
may indirectly contribute to conservation of specific taxa by providing, for example, travel corridors. Certainly<br />
ecological restoration is not a substitute for maintaining intact landscapes. However, restoration projects may<br />
provide increased benefits by greater involvement of conservation biologists in planning so that additional<br />
conservation goals can be achieved at larger scales. This session will consider the state of the art of ecological<br />
restoration in view of its significance for conservation. A broad range of talks will consider large-scale<br />
landscape restoration, changes in protected areas, carbon sequestration, control of invasives, unexpected<br />
outcomes, and how conservation goals may change over time. The session will conclude with a synthesis and<br />
prospectus for the future.<br />

• SYM 42 BEYOND DISCIPLINARY BOUNDARIES: STRATEGIES FOR INTEGRATIVE CONSERVATION RESEARCH<br />
Todd 203/204<br />
Wednesday, July 16, 10:00 to 12:00<br />
Organizer(s): Carina Wyborn, Laurie Yung, Erika Zavaleta<br />
This symposium will address the challenges and opportunities associated with doing interdisciplinary research<br />
with a focus on successful examples and strategies for developing a successful interdisciplinary project. While<br />
conservation science has long been considered an integrative discipline, realizing this integration remains a<br />
continual struggle for academic practice. Persistent barriers include different ways of framing problems,<br />
different research methods and criteria for judging validity, and impediments in the structure of research<br />
funding and academic institutions. Despite these barriers, interest in interdisciplinary research is growing and<br />
both scientists and practitioners increasingly recognize that effective conservation practice depends on an<br />
integrative, holistic understanding of the complexity of specific conservation challenges.<br />

Wednesday, July 16, 10:00 to 11:30<br />
Organizer(s): Keefe Keeley, April Sansom, Robert Horwich<br />
The success of conservation efforts in any place will depend on the dynamics of collaborations with and within<br />
the communities of that place. This symposium will probe those dynamics: What are the most effective roles for<br />
people from other places in these collaborations? Specifically, how can professionals from the global North<br />
best support conservation in resource-poor and biodiverse places? Are partnerships based on knowledgesupport<br />
for adaptive co-management necessary and sufficient? Should (and how should) outsiders support the<br />
formation of local community-based organizations to partner with in conservation? Can we predict how<br />
conservation projects will endure beyond the term of collaborations? How do we evaluate these collaborations<br />
and their outcomes? We will look for answers and advance our understanding of best practices in crossboundary<br />
collaborations by convening those with relevant experience.<br />

UC 326/327<br />
Wednesday, July 16, 1:30 to 3:30<br />
Organizer(s): Daniel M. Evans, J. Michael Scott, Erika Zavaleta, Ya-Wei Li and Timothy Male<br />
With the 40 th anniversary of the U.S. Endangered Species Act (ESA) behind us, our symposium will focus on<br />
approaches to implementing the Act more effectively over the next 20 years. In this time, the U.S. population<br />
will grow by 55 million people, urban areas will expand by 10-30 million acres, and extreme weather events will<br />
become more frequent. Simultaneously, technological advances in supercomputing, renewable energy<br />
production, and thousands of other areas will accelerate biophysical and socioeconomic transformations. How<br />
can the ESA better achieve its goals in light of these challenges to and opportunities for conservation?<br />

AND NO-ANALOG CONDITIONS<br />

Wednesday, July 16, 1:30 to 3:30<br />
Organizer(s): Adena Rissman, Volker Radeloff<br />
Humans are now the dominant biogeographic, evolutionary, and climatic force on Earth. The natural world<br />
faces an unprecedented period of change, and the pace and geographic extent of these changes will<br />
continue to increase throughout the 21st century. As we change the environment ever more rapidly, new<br />
climate conditions are emerging that have no historical analogs, novel ecosystems are flourishing, and people<br />
are creating new land use patterns and demographic, economic, and political realities. For conservation,<br />
novel environments present tremendous challenges, because protecting what is, or restoring what was, may no<br />
longer be options, nor can the future be predicted based on past trends. However, this is the world in which we<br />
increasingly find ourselves.<br />
Novel environments challenge the boundaries between conserved and threatened, public and private, the<br />
human-influenced and the wild. The future looks less like the past and less predictable. Aldo Leopold’s “oldest<br />
task in human history: to live on a piece of land without spoiling it” is becoming increasingly problematic. What<br />
do these unpredictable and unprecedented changes mean for future biodiversity, for sustainability, and for<br />
conservation?<br />

PLANT COMMUNITIES AND ECOSYSTEM FUNCTION<br />
GBB 119<br />
Wednesday, July 16, 1:30 to 5:30<br />
Organizer(s): Jonathan Bauer<br />
Although restoration efforts typically do not actively restore soil communities, the restoration of soil communities<br />
may be critical to reaching conservation objectives including plant community restoration, re-introduction of<br />
rare plants, soil building, and carbon sequestration. This symposium will provide an overview of the importance<br />
of soil microbial ecology to plant communities and ecosystem function and will focus on progress toward<br />
utilizing soil microbial communities to restore plant communities and re-establish ecosystem function in<br />
degraded environments.<br />

GBB 106<br />
Wednesday, July 16, 1:30 to 6:00<br />
Organizer(s): Brad Timm, Kevin McGarigal, Samuel Cushman<br />
This symposium is focused on the use of multi-scale habitat modeling to help guide conservation and<br />
management decisions and activities. Traditionally the grand majority of habitat selection/assessment studies<br />
have been, and continue to be, conducted at single spatial and temporal scales. However, in reality many<br />
species, populations, and communities respond to the environment across a range of scales. In order to better<br />
understand how species respond to their environment and at scales that are relevant to applied conservation<br />
and management, we need to move away from this narrow, single-scaled framework and to adopt multi-scale<br />
perspectives and analytical approaches in these studies.<br />

Conservation organizations and governmental agencies are developing new approaches to address the<br />
complex and dynamic aspects for accomplishing landscape conservation goals in North America. Recent<br />
regional inventories of large landscape conservation efforts by the University of Montana, the Lincoln Institute<br />
for Land Policy, and the Regional Plan Association documented an exponential growth in landscape-scale<br />
conservation efforts over the last 15 years, with almost 400 self-identified initiatives. Both government and nongovernment<br />
organizations are developing new mechanisms and programs to collaboratively identify<br />
landscape goals and common priorities, desired conservation outcomes, and measureable objectives.<br />
In addition, these initiatives are using new partnerships and networks to implement scalable, integrative<br />
conservation design, conservation action, and monitoring. These approaches better fit the scale of the<br />
challenge and the complexity that exists among multiple stakeholders with the necessary response or<br />
adaptation actions.<br />

Organizer(s): Anne Carlson, Gary Tabor<br />
The conservation community appears to be in the midst of a large-scale transition. Since the development of<br />
the 1970’s model of conservation – which grew out of Earth Day – the ways in which we work, locate and use<br />
information, interact with one another, communicate with our constituencies, and fund our work have<br />
changed dramatically. In this symposium, we consider signs that our community is in transition before<br />
endeavoring to identify the components of a new model for effective and sustainable conservation work in the<br />
