Biodiversity Without Boundaries 2011

Biodiversity Without Boundaries 2011 - May 9-12 - Nebraska City, Nebraska
Reach out across disciplines, across programs, and across boundaries at 
Biodiversity Without Boundaries 2011!

This highly regarded annual training and education event on biodiversity 
conservation highlights the crucial role that conservation science plays 
in our global society.

Join us May 8-12, 2011, amid the rolling hills and rich bottomland fields 
of southeast Nebraska, where conservation leaders, thinkers, and 
practitioners will convene for four days of exchanging knowledge, 
discussing issues, sharing innovations, and networking. With its deep 
commitment to conservation and sustainability, the Arbor Day Foundation.s 
Lied Lodge and Conference Center at Arbor Day Farm provides a unique 
setting for attendees to renew their own personal and professional 
commitments.

Biodiversity Without Boundaries 2010 drew more than 200 conservation 
professionals representing 116 organizations and 18 countries to Austin, 
Texas, with attendees ranging from scientists, natural resource managers, 
and environmental consultants to planners, environmental advocates, and 
corporate and public policy-makers. The unifying commitment of this 
diverse audience? Tackling urgent and emerging international conservation 
needs through science, collaboration, and leadership.

BWB's in-depth sessions explore a full spectrum of conservation issues and 
solutions:

     * the science behind the pressing problems
     * the information and expertise needed to direct decisions
     * the tools and methods for setting priorities, planning and taking 
action, and monitoring and tracking progress toward goals
     * the lessons learned from conservation success, collaboration, and 
leadership approaches.

The 2011 location in Nebraska highlights the Midwest, with particular 
attention to issues prevalent in the region and featuring presentations 
from regional programs and partners. Co-hosted by NatureServe and the 
Nebraska Natural Heritage Program, Biodiversity Without Boundaries 2011 
brings together an international scope with a local view to further 
enhance the conference experience.
