\u201cConserving living landscapes and creating lasting legacies\u201d<\/p>\n

Abstract: <\/strong><\/p>\n

In a time of accelerating biodiversity loss and climate change, effective conservation demands not only sound evidence but strategic partnerships and bold action. In this talk, Dr. Aerin Jacob (Nature Conservancy of Canada) will survey key conservation challenges across Canada and showcase practical solutions rooted in evidence and collaboration. She will illustrate how coordinated, evidence\u2010based action can yield measurable gains for species, ecosystems, and communities. The talk will offer insights on scaling up collective action to secure resilient landscapes for nature and people alike.<\/p>\n
