Plenary Spotlight #3 🤝 Indigenous-led Conservation & Restoration in the Great Lakes
Date: Wednesday, July 15, 2026, 9:00 am – 10:30 am CST (1.5 hours)
https://scbnorthamerica.org/index.php/naccr-2026-plenaries/

This plenary brings together indigenous leaders and land managers from multiple Tribal Nations in Minnesota and Wisconsin to share knowledge, experiences, and strategies in ecological restoration and conservation on tribal lands.

Speakers will:
- explore how traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) and cultural values are incorporated into land management priorities and how and where these intersect with western science, offering a historical perspective on these topics.
- share restoration and conservation case studies and initiatives that span multiple ecosystems and incorporate climate resilience, sustainability, and food sovereignty. In addition, these projects often involve a wide variety of partnerships, from inter-tribal to local, state, and federal governments, to academic institutions, and beyond.

Together, these voices will highlight the critical importance of indigenous leadership in restoration and conservation. 🌱

Regular registration for NACCR 2026 ends July 12. Link in bio!

This image features a Queen conch (Aliger gigas) in seagrass in The Bahamas. Spatial patchiness of normally diffuse animals is often not considered in management frameworks, which typically focus on mean abundance. Kough et al. (2026) examined patchiness and movement behaviors in queen conch (Aliger gigas). They determined that the minimum space needed to protect a breeding aggregation is small enough to be managed by local governance. Thus, considering behavior-informed, small-scale spatial interventions offers a pathway for the conservation of patchily distributed species.
