Center for Conservation Biology

In recent years, the Center has initiated the development of a community outreach program. the purpose of this emerging program is to inform the general public about ongoing envionmental problems while providing education about potential solution and recent research findings. by interacting directly with the community, we hope to advance the public debate and establish a forum for problem solving.

As part of this initiative, the Center regularly participates in newspaper articles, magazine articles, and articles published via electronic media. In addition, Center staff and/or associates are routinely features in video, television, and radio broadcasts.
