Part 1: Looking at the Big Picture
What is landscape-scale conservation and why is it important? How has the Florida Wildlife Corridor evolved from decades of GIS-based analysis and why should we be concerned about protecting it? What role does agricultural land play in the corridor, and what are some of the threats and opportunities? What impact will climate change and associated population migration have on the corridor? Join University of Florida Center for Landscape Conservation Planning Director Thomas Hoctor, PhD, cattle rancher and conservationist Jim Strickland, Florida Atlantic University School of Environmental, Coastal & Ocean Sustainability (ECOS) Founding Director Colin Polsky, PhD, and Florida Wildlife Corridor Foundation Chief Executive Officer Mallory Dimmitt, as they address these questions and more.
