Hi all,
Hi everyone,
For the third year in a row, LoaCom is proud to be working on the Quivira
Conference, November 13 - 15 in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
http://quiviracoalition.org/2013_Quivira_Conference_/index.html
This year's theme is "Inspiring Adaptation."
From prehistoric times to the present, human societies have successfully
adapted to the challenges of a changing West, including periods of severe
drought, limitations created by scarce resources and shifting cultural and
economic pressures. Now, the American West is entering an era of
unprecedented change brought on by new climate realities, which will test our
capacity for adaptation as well as challenge the resilience of the region's
native flora and fauna. It is therefore paramount that we find and share
inspiring ideas and practical strategies that help all of the region's
inhabitants adapt to a rapidly changing world.
We will hear from scientists, ranchers, farmers, conservationists, urban
planners and others who have bright ideas and important tools to share from
their adaptation toolbox.
This year's amazing line-up of speakers includes a co-winner of the Nobel
Peace Prize, and winners of a Pulitzer Prize in Poetry, a MacArthur "genius"
grant, a Pew Fellowship in Conservation and Environment, the Stewart L. Udall
Award for Conservation, a Guggenheim Fellow, two Society for Range Management
awards, and six Clarence Burch and Radical Center awards from the Quivira
Coalition!
Speakers include:
Gary Snyder, Dr. Jonathan Overpeck, Dr. Gary Paul Nabhan, Dr. Deborah Finch,
Bill Zeedyk, and more
