2007
Lance Craighead gave a presentation at the Association of Zoos and Aquariums Western Region Annual meeting in Denver on March 30, 2007 hosted by the Denver Zoo:( Zoo Research and Conservation: expanding the scope into the laboratories of the landscape. [100MB ppt] )
We presented two papers at the Montana Chapter of the Wildlife Society meetings in February 2007:
A Habitat Conservation Network Based upon Focal Species: Design for the Inland Rainforest of North America with applications for energy development. by Dr. Lance Craighead*, Craighead Environmental Research Institute, Bozeman, MT. Co-authors: Baden Cross, Thomas Olenicki, Brent Brock (all from Craighead Environmental Research Institute, Bozeman, MT), and Justin Williams, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD.
Habitat and Subdivision Growth Models for Predicting Past and Future Habitat Loss from Rural Subdivision Development. Tom Olinecki*, Craighead Environmental Research Institute, Bozeman, MT.
A paper entitled: "Identifying Core Habitat and Connectivity for Focal Species in the Interior Cedar-Hemlock Forest of North America to Complete a Conservation Area Design" was published in the Proceedings of the 8th World Wilderness Congress in spring 2007. This paper included a new dimension in symposium proceedings: since our results included many large format maps that were too detailed to be clearly seen in an 8 by 10 black and white print in the document, we published small black and white maps with internet links to larger, color versions on our website. When linking to the larger color maps please wait about 30 seconds or more even with a fast connection.
Lance gave a presentation at The Nature Conservancy's Conservation Science in Practice Conference- Linking Local Science/Practice to Global Conservation - in Tucson AZ Nov. 29, 2006: "Landscape Context and Connectivity: Setting goals for Where? How much? and In what condition?" The talk was titled: ( Connectivity in Space and Time: implications for individuals, populations, and species of the Yellowstone to Yukon Region. [105MB ppt] )
September 21-24, 2006. CERI held the 9th annual Conservation Area Design meeting at the B-Bar Ranch. We had a terrific turnout with a core group of scientists from previous years representing several universities and NGO's, plus 2 of the principals of the ESRI conservation program (Charles Convis and Steve Beckwitt) - colleagues from Canada (Derek Martin of the David Suzuki Foundation and Baden and Ulrika Cross of Applied Conservation GIS) - former US Forest Service biologists (Jesse Logan and Timm Kaminski [now director of the Mountain Livestock Cooperative]) - and a contingent from the Wilburforce Foundation.
