DESCRIPTION:The Department of Natural Resource Sciences is pleased to annou
 nce the continuation of its invited seminar series in Environmental Biolog
 y for the Fall 2019 semester. Our seminars are open to all and may be of i
 nterest to the general FAES community. Seminars take place on Thursdays at
  11h30 in R3-045 (see dates below and attached schedule). A pizza lunch an
 d informal conversation with the speaker will be open to students immediat
 ely following the seminar.\n\nOur first NRS invited seminar for October is
  Dr. Aerin Jacob from the Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative.\n
 \nAlthough protected areas are the cornerstone of nature conservation\, al
 one they cannot sustain healthy populations of animals that need huge area
 s to move – species like grizzly bears\, wolves\, caribou\, and wolverines
 . The added pressures of climate change and habitat fragmentation make it 
 clear that a shift to “large landscape conservation” is needed. This appro
 ach includes protecting core habitat areas\, linking them via critical cor
 ridors\, and considering the social\, cultural\, and economic factors that
  enable both people and nature thrive. The Yellowstone to Yukon (Y2Y) visi
 on is one of the first and best known large landscape\, collaborative cons
 ervation projects in the world. Stretching more than 3200 km across wester
 n North America\, Y2Y’s success is based on a combination of rigorous scie
 nce\, natural resource management\, and community and policy engagement ac
 ross multiple jurisdictions and working with more than 450 partner groups.
  This talk will offer lessons of how researchers\, decision-makers\, the p
 rivate and non-profit sectors\, and communities\, have worked together to 
 achieve conservation at very broad scales.\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\n\nDr. Aer
 in Jacob has studied animal behaviour\, forest and coastal ecology\, and c
 onservation biology across British Columbia\, Alaska\, East Africa and Cen
 tral America. Aerin designs\, conducts\, and communicates applied research
  to inform Y2Y and partners across the region. This involves working with 
 natural and social scientists at universities\, research institutions\, an
 d government agencies\, and collaborating with community partners. Aerin i
 s active in science outreach\, including public lectures\, storytelling\, 
 policy engagement\, and supporting diversity in science. When she isn't th
 inking or talking about science\, she can be found skiing\, paddling\, and
  looking under rocks.\n\nFALL SCHEDULE\n\nOctober 10: Aerin Jacob ― Yellow
