Welcome back to the Land Steward Podcast, and thank you for joining us for part 2 of our episode on the Endangered Species Act. This week we’re taking you behind the scenes of the Endangered Species Act 50th Anniversary Symposium that took place in Austin, TX in November.
BW recaps the event and interviews a few different guests at the event about their experiences being in the room with some major players in the field of conservation and some key takeaways from the three panels covering the past, present, and future of the ESA.
Thank you to all our interviewees—Mike Marshall (NRI), Shelby McCay (NRI), Roel Lopez (NRI, Texas A&M Department of Rangeland Wildlife and Fisheries Management), Mike Leahy (National Wildlife Federation), and Lindsay Martinez (East Foundation).
