July 18: WEBINAR: Innovation in Species Conservation: Conservation Banking for Candidate Species, with Switzer Fellows Todd Gartner and Josh Donlan. Todd, of the World Resources Institute, and Josh, of Advanced Conservation Strategies, have been working under a Switzer Collaborative Initiatives grant to develop a pilot conservation marketplace for endangered species - a concept that has gained considerable attention nationwide as a potential conservation and conflict resolution strategy for species like the gopher tortoise, sage grouse and lesser prairie chicken, and that is the subject of proposed rulemaking by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Todd and Josh will introduce their work to date, including the structure, promise and challenges of conservation banking.
