As part of the Sustainability Series, Middlebury Professor, Steve Trombulak fills an hour with scenarios, cutting age research, and a privileged view of the Systematic Conservation Planning being piloted in Vermont and spreading internationally. The first 10 minutes introduces the topic and history of Site-Based Conservation Planning including examples in Yellowstone National Park.

The second section describes the 5 Dominant Reasons why landscape scale conservation is necessary. And the final sections outline strategies to work as an advocate and lessons learned. Although the presentation was given with a powerpoint, Professor Trombulak’s lecture is impressive, interesting and compelling even without the visuals. This presentation was recorded and edited by Paula LeRoy from MIIS Informed Radio show: Policy Pace.
