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.
We are facilitating a series of monthly forums to work through the R2R Species Recovery Progress Wheel with your team. Our goal is to have many more teams use the Wheel over the next few months and be able to use the data to help advance all working groups/recovery teams.
We would like all species working groups to be represented at these sessions. Ideally, multiple team members can attend and someone from the team will attend all of them.
The forums will take place on the following dates at 3pm Eastern; each will cover a section of the Recovery Wheel:
- February 19th: Organize Network
- March 19th: Assess Species Populations
- April 16th: Identify Focus Areas
- May 21st: Identify Challenges
- June 18th: Strategize Recovery
- July 16th: Implement Action
August 21, 2024 - 2pm Eastern
June 12, 2024
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.
