Instructions for registering:
YOU MUST REGISTER BY WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 5:00PM ET TO JOIN THIS WEBINAR
The web conferences last about 1 to 1.5 hours including a question-and-answer session. Topics are climate change and wildlife-related and will include scientists from academia, government, and private conservation organizations. The conferences are targeted at a technical level equivalent to that of a graduate seminar and assume that the participants already have some knowledge of and background with the topic.
The web conferences use the Microsoft Live Meeting software program. Conference advertisement and registration is through DOI LEARN. All conferences, including questions and answers, are recorded and available in NCTC’s web library. To view archived webinars in this series, go to:
