Welcome to the technical sessions schedule for the 2015 SEAFWA Annual Meeting.
NEW THIS YEAR! The technical schedule is capable of being sorted by date (i.e, Monday, Nov. 2), track (i.e. Wildlife Technical Sessions), or session (i.e. Wildlife Session #1). You can also search for a presentation title (i.e. Changing Landscapes by Coalition), key term (i.e. striped bass), or presenter last name (i.e. Weaver). The sort and search functions can be found on the navigation panel on the right side of this page. If you hover over the "Schedule" button, you’ll also see different schedule view options (i.e. Grid or Simple). Try selecting each of them to see which view you prefer.

Gary M. Tabor, Center for Large Landscape Conservation
Given the growing impacts of climate change, and the needs of seven billion people on the planet and their cumulative influence on nature, large scale conservation is emerging as a new conservation approach. And surprisingly this large scale response is often driven by bottom up collaborative approaches. Another surprise is that the growth of this sector is happening at an exponential rate. In 1994, I helped co-found one of the first large scale conservation efforts known as Yellowstone to Yukon; today there are over 250 self-identified large landscape efforts in North America and there are an equal number emerging around the globe -- and similarly for large scale seascape efforts. In addition we are seeing more regional state, provincial and federal large scale initiatives in the U.S. and Canada from the Western Governors Association's wildlife corridor initiative to the Landscape Conservation Cooperatives. This talk will survey the opportunities presented by this new paradigm for conservation.
