About the Conference: 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.

Hope to see some of you there!
