Is Wolf Reintroduction Right for Colorado?

Is systematic wolf reintroduction right for Colorado? With the two recent gray wolf sightings in Jackson County, the question of a healthy wolf population in Colorado is one of increasing attention and debate. At our Pathways 2019 conference (September 22-26), we will attempt to address this complex issue through the lens of human interests and values with a multi-part plenary session on Monday and Tuesday night, followed by a half-day world café workshop on Wednesday afternoon. The plenary session will feature speakers representing a wide range of backgrounds and perspectives, from key lessons learned from past reintroduction attempts, public perspectives towards wolf reintroduction, and key findings of social science research on the issue. If you are interested in learning more about wolves and Colorado, we invite you to join us at the YMCA of the Rockies in Estes this September. The conference is open to the public. For more information on our plenary speakers, registration rates and other conference details, please visit our website or email the conference team. We look forward to seeing you in Estes Park!

COMING UP! Pathways Kenya 2020

BRACKENHURST CONFERENCE AND TRAINING CENTER

LIMURU, KENYA

February 16-19, 2020

Colorado State University and the Pride Lion Conservation Alliance are thrilled to announce their partnership with hosting the 3rd iteration of the Pathways Africa: Human Dimensions of Wildlife Conference and Training. Pathways Kenya 2020 will examine the costs of excluding diverse voices in our decision-making teams and conservation programs and the benefits we will gain by their inclusion. Our 2020 theme of “Open the Door to Diverse Voices” hopes to provide a closer examination of how balanced leadership teams, effective collaborations, and diverse voices improve conservation impacts. We will also consider the individual and organizational change required to create an environment for innovative, long lasting solutions to address the complex crises of biodiversity loss and climate change and their impacts across Africa. We invite your perspectives on this critical topic.

We look forward to seeing you in Limuru!
