What is community-based conservation? This session will be a discussion on how conservation partners can better engage communities through our work, in particular minority and underserved communities and landowners. By highlighting partners that are leading the way in this effort, we aim to provide ideas on how to design conservation projects with diverse communities and landowners in mind.
