Our presenters will draw on two decades of socioecological research experience to discuss best practices for protecting wildlife and habitat through conservation development. They will share regional studies that demonstrate why such practices are needed, the type and quality of existing protection mechanisms in Northeast land-use codes and ordinances, factors associated with success or failure to implement conservation design principles, and critical areas for future research.

Presenters:

Dr. Michale Glennon, Science Director at Paul Smith's College Adirondack Watershed Institute

Dr. Heidi Kretser, Senior Conservation Social Scientist at the Wildlife Conservation Society
