Speakers will explore the impacts of climate change on wildlife; the adaptation strategies to reduce those impacts; and policy responses necessary to ensure that wildlife species survive impacts of global warming over the next century. Science, Engineering, and Policy Innovators are invited to present posters demonstrating innovative approaches, strategies, and practices to enhance adaptation of wildlife to the impacts of global warming. Posters should broadly examine both the impacts as well as the types of tools, technologies, practices, and measures that should be considered if we are to meet the challenges of global warming. Symposium proceedings and poster abstracts, and recommendations for action, will be published.
