programs

CBI’s effectiveness and success is tied to our ability to deploy our staff on issues that are important to conservation. These issues range in scale from very local to national and international. We organize our efforts under these Programs:

• Conservation Science Support — CBI works closely with our conservation partners to provide scientific expertise to address a wide range of conservation issues throughout the U.S. These efforts range from providing scientific rationale for land acquisitions to producing public outreach materials.
• Conservation Planning And Stewardship — Relying on our ecological training, knowledge of environmental regulations, and upon our expertise with computer mapping, GIS analysis, and remote sensing, CBI develops effective conservation plans and stewardship prescriptions from regional to local scales.
• Forest Conservation — CBI is rapidly becoming a leader in forest conservation science and in local and regional assessments and mapping. This program emphasized proactive planning over reactive defense to protect native forests throughout the world.
• International Program — CBI has been actively involved in conservation planning and assessment projects in areas outside the U.S., including Canada, Mexico, Central America, and most recently in China.
• Education — Conservation education is an ongoing activity, and we accomplish this objective through writing, public speaking, mentoring, and teaching.
