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.
