DESCRIPTION:Hybrid Lunchbox Talk - From Conflict to Collaboration: How Cons
 ervation Partnerships are Helping Save an Imperiled Ecosystem\n\nwith Jeff 
 Marcus\, Wildlife Biologist\, The Nature Conservancy\n\n \n\n \n\nThe longl
 eaf pine ecosystem is one of the most biologically diverse in North America
 \, and the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker is one of its most iconic spe
 cies. In the 1990s\, populations of this woodpecker in the NC Sandhills wer
 e critically low. The largest population was on Fort Liberty (formerly Fort
  Bragg)\, but the Army did not want to alter training or land management. P
 rivate landowners mistrusted government agencies and were cutting their lon
 gleaf rather than see an endangered bird move in. It had the makings of a c
 lassic environmental conflict\, until some forward-thinking people decided 
 they had more to gain from solving the underlying problem than fighting eac
 h other. What resulted was the invention of several key programs that are n
 ow used nation-wide\, the recovery of the Sandhills population\, and a part
 nership that became a model for how to do collaborative conservation. This 
 talk will discuss longleaf conservation efforts in NC and across the range 
 and will explore how the lessons learned from the Sandhills can be applied 
 to other environmental conflicts. This talk is part of the Saving our Savan
 nas: Stories of the Longleaf Pine exhibition\, which explores the history\,
  ecology\, and culture of the longleaf pine ecosystem.\n\n \n\nPhoto by Rob
