NACCB 2020 Workshop: Conservation Policy Crash-Course for Scientists

This short course was presented at the virtual NACCB 2020 July 27-31, 2020. There is a mismatch between the rate of advancement in scientific understanding of the state of biodiversity (rapid) and improving conservation outcomes (slow). This difference is due, in part, to a disconnect between scientific research and the laws and policies that provide strong mechanisms for changing outcomes. This course was designed to familiarize conservation scientists whose primary focus/background is biological research with the functioning of the major conservation laws and policies of the U.S. The goal was to provide an understanding of the mechanisms by which these policies protect biodiversity, and the processes through which scientists and researchers can participate to improve outcomes. The presenters first discuss the broad framework of laws, regulations, and policies that implement conservation laws at the federal and state levels. Next, they dive into major laws such as the Endangered Species Act, Marine Mammal Protection Act, Migratory Bird Treaty Act, and other relevant laws such as the National Environmental Policy Act, National Forest Management Act, Federal Land Planning and Management Act, and Freedom of Information Act. They also briefly discuss analogous state laws, and explore how federal and state governance interacts in conservation issues.
