The conference is co-chaired by Bernd Blossey of Cornell University and Dov Sax of Brown University. This conference will bring together ecologists, land and conservation managers, and students to1) \u00a0identify both existing and novel conservation targets that are ecologically sound in light of rapid global change, and 2) develop a framework for assessing the inherent tradeoffs, risks, and benefits involved in achieving those conservation targets. The ultimate objective is to provide science-based, practical decision tools for those charged with implementing conservation strategies throughout North America and internationally.<\/p>\n<p>Attendance is primarily by invitation. Twenty student and post-doc participants have been selected from an open call for poster abstracts held early in the fall of 2011.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Developing Ecologically-Based Conservation Targets Under Global Change: The 2nd Emerging Issues Conference of the Ecological Society of America February 27 &#8211; March 1, 2012 National Conservation Training Center (NCTC) Shepherdstown, WV Conference Agenda Speakers Call For Abstracts (Students and Post-Docs) Organizing Committee Sponsors About the Conference Sponsors The ESA Governing Board is pleased to announce [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"page-templates\/full-width.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/esa.org\/emerging_issues\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/16"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/esa.org\/emerging_issues\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/esa.org\/emerging_issues\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esa.org\/emerging_issues\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esa.org\/emerging_issues\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/esa.org\/emerging_issues\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/16\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":138,"href":"https:\/\/esa.org\/emerging_issues\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/16\/revisions\/138"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/esa.org\/emerging_issues\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
