A World Café: Identifying Resources Needed for Successful Development and Implementation of Landscape Conservation Design

Designing sustainable landscapes requires a fundamental shift in the way society plans, designs, and delivers conservation and development projects. Landscape conservation design is a process that integrates the interests of multiple stakeholders through agreed upon strategies that achieve multiple objectives. We will use a World Café format to engage conference participants in a conversation to identify stakeholders, design processes, science information, and products needed to successfully ensure multi-sector integration in landscape conservation design – and more importantly – the delivery of on-the-ground strategies that strive to ensure landscape sustainability for people and wildlife. The information obtained from the World Café will be used to help guide development of a paper on “best practices.”
