"Preserving the Chihuahuan Desert: Conservation, Challenges and Opportunities"

Описание: Janaé Reneaud Field and Mike Gaglio facilitated this online webinar. Their presentation had two parts. The first explored the need to protect fragile desert ecosystems and surrounding lands and highlighted the challenges of conservation and the opportunities for collective action through private public partnerships. The second part focused on the work at Keystone Heritage Park as a strategy to promote awareness of the importance of land conservation, water harvesting, native plants, and the interconnectedness of these strategies as part of environmental stewardship. Together, these presenters shared with participants how deserts—often seen as barren—are actually rich in biodiversity, and vital resources, and how we can make a difference.
