ESA @ 30 Project

Dr. Dale Goble and Dr. Michael Scott are working on the ESA @ 30 Project which is a multidisciplinary project with scientists, economists, policy analysts, and lawyers from different Universities to analyze and help interpret what recovery means in the Endangered Species Act so that the overarching goal of “conserving species” is achieved.  The ESA @ 30 Project has entailed two national conferences, nearly a dozen smaller workshops, and a series of Regional Directors of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, the Nature Conservancy-Smith Fellows, and the Western Association of Fish and Game Administrators.

Building Sustainable Communities Initiative

This initiative coordinates existing University of Idaho expertise from eight academic departments in seven colleges, University of Idaho Extension and eight units/organizations both in and outside the institution.  Dr. Steven Hollenhorst and Dr. Michael Scott are two CRISSP faculty involved in this project.

 

The three interdependent components of this initiative are:

Academic Programs in bioregional planning and community design (M.S. and graduate certificate).

Learning and Practice Collaborative that engages University of Idaho faculty and students to assist communities with sustainable community planning and development.

Center for Effective Planning and Governance that delivers non-credit training to local elected leaders and professionals to plan and manage community resources for a sustainable future.
