Landscape Conservation Cooperatives | 2012 National Workshop

March 27-28, 2012Denver, Colorado

“Defining Conservation for the 21st Century”

Landscape Conservation Cooperatives are public-private partnerships composed of states, tribes, federal agencies, non-governmental organizations, universities and others. LCCs recognize that 21st century challenges—land use changes and impacts such as drought, wildfire, habitat fragmentation, contaminants, pollution, invasive species, disease and a rapidly changing climate—transcend political and jurisdictional boundaries and require a more networked approach to conservation to ensure the sustainability of North America’s land, water, wildlife and cultural resources.

Rebecca Mitchell Water policy and issues Coordinator, Colorado Department of natural resources

As the Water Policy and Issues Coordinator, Rebecca works with many divisions in the Department of Natural Resources regarding a variety of state water issues including the federal NEPA process, wild and scenic river designations, sustainability, endangered species programs and water rights policy. Prior to joining the Department of Natural Resources, Rebecca worked in both the public and private sectors as a consulting engineer. Since receiving her B.S. from the Colorado School of Mines in 2001, Rebecca has focused on water issues throughout the state of Colorado. She went on to receive her M.S. in Environmental Science and Engineering, also at the Colorado School of Mines.

Dave Theobald, Ph.D.Landscape ecologist, research scientist and assistant professor at Warner College of natural resources, Colorado state University

Dr. Theobald is a Senior Research Scientist in the Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology at Colorado State University, and he received his B.A. and Ph.D. from the Department of Geography, University of Colorado, Boulder, and his M.A. from Department of Geography, University of California, Santa Barbara.

Dave uses concepts from geography and landscape ecology and methods from spatial analysis to understand patterns of landscape change and their effects on wildlife habitat and biodiversity. He has engaged in a variety of collaborations, including a natural resource condition assessment of Rocky Mountain National Park, analyzing trade-offs in the effects of proposed planning policies on the sustainability for a variety of western counties, directing an inventory of open space and protected lands in Colorado (COMaP), developing detailed, nationwide forecasts of development patterns that are consistent with climate change scenarios (called Integrated Climate and Land Use Scenarios), and identifying movement

through natural landscapes at regional to continental scales. Currently, Dave is helping the Western Governors’ Association Landscape Integrity workgroup to develop maps of important habitat and connectivity areas across the West, participating on the Yale Science Panel to develop a Framework to identify strategies for integrating climate adaptation models into resource planning, and working with the Great Northern and Southern Rockies LCC through a NASA-funded project called Landscape Climate Change Vulnerability Project.

Bruce A. Stein, Ph.D.Director of Climate Change adaptation, national Wildlife Federation

Dr. Bruce A. Stein’s current work focuses on developing and promoting climate-smart approaches for conservation and natural resource managers and he is a co-author of Scanning the Conservation Horizon, A Guide to Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment. Bruce previously served as Vice President and Chief Scientist for the non-profit organization NatureServe and was, for more than a decade, a senior scientist with The Nature Conservancy. During his tenure at the Conservancy he was lead author of the award-winning book Precious Heritage: The Status of Biodiversity in the United States (Oxford Univ. Press). A botanist by training, Bruce received his Bachelor’s degree from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and his Ph.D. from Washington University, St. Louis and the Missouri Botanical Garden.

John FielderLandscape photographer

John Fielder is a nationally renowned photographer, publisher, teacher, and preservationist. He hikes and skis hundreds of miles in Colorado alone each year - and drives thousands - in order to record on film its most sublime natural places. For the last 40 years, no one has traveled this state like John Fielder, from its rolling plains to the soaring Rocky Mountains and the Western Slope’s remote plateaus and river canyons.

John Fielder has worked tirelessly to promote the protection of Colorado’s open space and wildlands. His photography has influenced people and legislation earning him recognition including the Sierra Club’s Ansel Adams Award in 1993 and in 2011, the Aldo Leopold Foundation’s first Achievement Award given to an individual.
