Bridging the Gap: Collaborative Conservation from the Ground Up

In many places across the American West and around the world, community-based collaborative initiatives are seeking ways to bridge the gap between conservation and livelihood goals.
One of the persistent challenges is sustaining these efforts over time – keeping partners at the table, working through bureaucratic inertia, adapting to changing government policies, or securing resources.
This conference will bring together people with experience working collaboratively to achieve both conservation and livelihood goals in tribal nations, rangelands, forests, watersheds, agricultural lands, and urban areas, to develop strategies to sustain these efforts.
