Conservation Science and Public Policy Revisited: an informal discussion
Sponsored by:
MN Society for Conservation Biology and MN Association of Conservation Professionals The role of conservation scientists in public policy and advocacy is a long-standing debate. It has recently emerged on the opinion pages of the Star Tribune and merits renewed discussion. Join us for an informal discussion as conservation scientists and practitioners from MNSCB & MNACP come together to share their insights and thoughts on this important topic. Sunday, December 9th, 1:00 – 3:30 p.m.
