Welcome to the Colorado Plateau Chapter of the
Society for Conservation Biology

The CP Chapter is intended to be a networking and information resource for everyone working on issues affecting the biological diversity of the Colorado Plateau. Its primary purpose is to link practicing conservation scientists that often are working alone or in small groups across the vast Plateau region, often with limited communication and interaction with others working on similar issues. The Chapter strives to provide a hub for information and communications, linking members via email, the web and other electronic means, as well as periodic Chapter meetings, ofen in conjunction with professional meetings or workshops.

We hope that the Chapter will also become a resource for the general public, students, landowners, the media, and others who are interested in the conservation of the biologically and culturally diverse Colorado Plateau. Our objective is to develop a "virtual community" of conservation scientists, so that we can better participate with others in effective planning, decision-making, and management of our shared resources.

As a member of the Chapter, you can assist in developing and refining ideas on issues ranging from experimental design to policy recommendations to ongoing monitoring efforts. This web site will serve as the "first line" for communications, providing contact information to members, highlighting important and emerging scientific issues that affect land and resource management, and providing links to other information sources.

Your input is essential in building this resource into an informative, helpful tool. Please submit new items, inquiries, suggestions, links, and issues of general interest to the CP Chapter Office, and we will work with you to identify the best way to share this information with the chapter members.
