Join the Wildlife Habitat Council for its 22nd Annual Symposium, The Business of Biodiveristy. In recognition of 2010 being declared the International Year of Biodiversity by the United Nations, this year’s conference will celebrate the accomplishments of Council members in protecting biodiversity throughout the history of this unique collaborative of corporations, non-profit organizations and governmental partners. Innovative sessions will explore a diverse array of topics, with activities focusing on education, collaboration, and celebration. Learn about climate change and habitat adaptation, management of habitat for threatened and endangered species, prescribed burns, and more. Participate in hands-on workshops or explore the natural world on an outdoor field trip. Keynote speaker Andrew Winston, founder of Winston Eco-Strategies, is the author of Green Recovery and the co-author of Green to Gold. Winston is a globally recognized expert on green business, and has appeared in major media. He is dedicated to helping companies both large and small use environmental strategy to grow, create enduring value, and build stronger relationships with employees, customers, and other stakeholders. Winston received his BA in Economics from Princeton, an MBA from Columbia, and a Masters of Environmental Management from Yale. Each year, corporate, government and conservation leaders come together from around the globe to share knowledge and celebrate Earth’s beauty and wonders. WHC is uniquely positioned to help you play a significant role in biodiversity conservation. In keeping with our mission to protect and enhance habitat, WHC is striving to minimize our annual symposium’s footprint. We are implementing the following sustainability initiatives, which are consistent with own ideals and will also support our upcoming application for Montgomery County Maryland Green Business Certification.
