Road to Recovery: Yellow-billed Symposium - 2021


Virtual meeting hosted by the Pajarito Environmental Education Center (PEEC), Los Alamos, New Mexico. Meeting Objectives: To incorporate research and monitoring (from the presentations in this symposium on Day 1) into an adaptive management framework (Day 2) to solve the bigger problem of recovery. This will involve identifying the most critical high priority questions for research and monitoring that also provide opportunities for learning about what is working or not working in terms of management and recovery. We hope to identify where there is “low-hanging fruit” to implement recovery action that will include adaptive restoration and management practices. We hope to identify opportunities for co-production, i.e., how to involve farmers, water managers, public land managers, private land owners, indigenous peoples, etc. This symposium will focus on discussion and idea generating to begin specific conservation actions that would effectively address causes and reverse declines and other achievable actions that could benefit the species.
