INTERNATIONAL SAGE-GROUSE FORUM
Conservation through Science, Management, and Local Community Involvement
Thursday-Friday, November 13-14, 2014
Purpose: At no time in the recorded annals of wildlife management, have so many devoted so much to the management and conservation of a single species – the Greater Sage-grouse. The species is indicative of the health of the sagebrush ecosystem which many depend.
The International Sage-grouse Forum (ISGF) was held at the Radisson Hotel, Downtown Salt Lake City, Utah on November 13-14, 2014. The ISGF brought together local sage-grouse working group members, landowners, county and city planners, energy industry environmental organization representatives, and local government officials from throughout the West to interact and dialogue with federal, regional, state sage-grouse conservation decision makers, wildlife managers, and biologists to further advance sage-grouse conservation through science, management and local community involvement. The ISGF will also highlight the magnitude and resolve of on-going range wide species conservation partnerships.
Thanks to our wonderful sponsors, recorded proceedings are available at no cost.
