Missoula Linkage Lunch

The Linkage Lunch program was launched to engage, inform, connect, and motivate our Missoula community around landscape conservation.

The general focus of Linkage Lunches are presentations from experts to discuss conservation of habitat, connectivity, wildlife, water, or wildness…and all things in between. They may have a local, statewide, nationwide, or global context. But our goal is that each presentation will include some level of connection to how each of us can help tackle connectivity conservation at home in some way.

Come join the Center for Large Landscape Conservation and other practitioners, agency staff, conservation professionals, and any interested members of the public in these exciting lunchtime talks. You won’t want to miss it! Bring your lunch, if desired. All are welcome!

This month, the presenter is Dr. Jedediah Brodie. He is the Craighead Chair of Conservation in the Division of Biological Sciences & Wildlife Biology Program at the University of Montana. He will speak about how defining and measuring connectivity are essential for large-scale conservation and restoration. He will highlight recent work in operationalizing connectivity, with examples from long-term conservation work in the tropical rainforests of Malaysian Borneo.

We hope to see you there!

Cheers from the Center for Large Landscape Conservation’s Missoula staff:

Katie Deuel, Gabriel Oppler, and Kylie Paul
