Session 2, May 23 2024: Policy in Conservation Planning
Topic Overview
All of our conservation strategies operate within the context of rules, regulations, laws, international agreements, public institutions and financing that shape—and sometimes constrain—what’s possible and what public funding is available. This makes policy a critical enabling condition to transform, sustain and scale our conservation actions. During this webinar, Natalie Holland will share some tools and approaches that have been developed by TNC to assist with incorporating policy considerations into the conservation planning process.
