Join experts in conservation and management from the CNMI and Guam at the 3rd Annual Marianas Terrestrial Conservation Conference & Workshop, which will be held on Nov. 18-20, at the Hibiscus Hall of Fiesta Resort & Spa Saipan in Garapan. <\/p>\n
This will be the first time the conference will be held on Saipan. The conference was started by Dr. Haldre Rogers, a professor at Iowa State University, who saw the need for an actual scientific conference for scientists and researchers working on conservation issues in the CNMI and Guam. <\/p>\n
Division of Fish and Wildlife\u2019s Jill Liske-Clark, one of the volunteer-organizers, said the conference is a chance for the CNMI public to hear about the researches and conservation programs on the islands.<\/p>\n
Registration is free and open to the public, and will include presentations on terrestrial conservation, field trips and activities such as pre-conference proa rides and Mariana swiftlet field trip, and a lizard identification trip at American Memorial Park. To register, visit marianasterrestrialconservation.org. It also includes a birding trip, tree planting for Yutu recovery, Jeffrey\u2019s Beach tour, and native limestone forest hike. <\/p>\n
