Partners for Conservation released their “Lessons Learned from Collaborative Sage-Grouse Conservation” report today. PFC wanted to see if there were common themes about what worked and what didn’t in this big collaborative effort. The lessons learned will hopefully help set the stage for future collaborative conservation efforts. This was a big project – I conducted interviews with 40 different individuals from a wide variety of perspectives and at different scales within the sage-grouse conservation process, summarized the responses and coordinated design and publication of the final report.
