Description:
"The Purdue Student Chapter of The Wildlife Society will be hosting the 2010 Midwest Student Conclave, March 26th-28th, 2010.
The topic of the weekend will be "Managing in the Matrix: Wildlife Management on a Changing Landscape." Modern pressures for increased agricultural production, more space to house a growing population, and an overall disconnect between an increasingly urban population and our natural resources necessitate that today's wildlife biologists be able to conserve our wildlife resources in a highly fragmented environment.
These environments are becoming more common throughout the Midwest and with that growth, human-wildlife interactions are increasing exponentially. It is today's wildlife professional who is charged with the task to conserve our valuable natural resources and optimize human interactions with wildlife.
This year's conclave will focus on this broad topic and equip Midwestern students with additional tools to Manage in the Matrix."
