Species Working Group Forum

Join our monthly Species Working Group Forum!

This virtual forum is designed for you and your entire Species Working Group team to network with, and learn from, other species working groups facing similar issues and challenges. This forum will also offer space to identify areas of common-ground for collaboration.

August 21, 2024 - 2pm Eastern

We will continue our discussion of organizing and facilitating the work of Species Working Groups. Becky Keller, Randy Dettmers and others have been working on developing a document that is intended to provide some suggestions on “Beneficial Management Practices” for Species Working Groups by using your experience in these teams. Please register and join us for this Forum to share your ideas/suggestions on this topic.

We will discuss how to generate capacity (staff support) and organize it for the benefit of the Species Working Groups. There may be an opportunity in the future to secure resources to efficiently support this work through shared coordinator positions. We would like to develop a strategy to use whatever financial support we secure as efficiently as possible and we want to hear from you about the feasibility of shared coordinators among working groups

April 24th, 2024

At this first forum, we will discuss the R2R Species Recovery Progress wheel. This will include a short presentation followed by a discussion. We will also identify topics for future forums based on species working group needs and get input on how to effectively structure this forum.
