With so much happening so fast, what’s at risk for the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, America’s most iconic wildlife-rich bioregion?

Just as summer was about to begin, the Northern Rockies Conservation Cooperative in Jackson Hole hosted an event that brought together a panel of scientific experts, big picture thinkers, representatives of more than a dozen different conservation organizations and a prominent whistleblower protection expert to assess recent policy shifts that hold huge implications for America’s wildlife and public lands.

Many of our readers couldn’t attend in person and hundreds tuned in. Since then, we’ve heard from many who asked if recordings were made by NRCC. You can watch the conference and its lineup of provocative speakers free by clicking on the link below.

It includes opening remarks by NRCC executive director Katie Christiansen, a panel discussion featuring NRCC founder and retired Yale University professor Dr. Susan Clark, University of Utah law professor Bob Keiter, conservation biologist Dr. Andrew Hansen now retired from Montana State University in Bozeman, Jackson Hole policy expert and elected local town council member Jonathan Schechter, and Todd Wilkinson of Yellowstonian.

You can also watch short, stimulating and exciting QuickTalk presentations for more than a dozen different conservation organizations, a keynote address, “Saving Democracy and the Environment,” by whistleblower protector Christine Cromley Bruner who worked in the Interior Office of Inspector General and awards recipients.

If you care about Greater Yellowstone and the West, you’ll find all to be most informative.
