  applies to all participants including DOI employees.  Please follow the
  instructions below to request registration in this webinar.  The new
  registration process requires you to complete a very brief form providing
  us with your name, affiliation, email address, and the date of the webinar
  you are requesting.  Once submitted, your name will be added to the

        on how to log-on through Live Meeting.



  The web conferences last about 1 to 1.5 hours including a
  question-and-answer session. Topics are climate change and
  wildlife-related and will include scientists from academia, government,
  and private conservation organizations.  The conferences are targeted at a
  technical level equivalent to that of a graduate seminar and assume that
  the participants already have some knowledge of and background with the
  topic.

  The web conferences use the Microsoft Live Meeting software program.
  Conference advertisement and registration is through DOI LEARN. Each
  conference. All conferences, including questions and answers, are recorded
  and available in NCTC’s web library. To view archived webinars in this
