The Society for Conservation GIS would like to welcome you to its eleventh annual conference. The theme for the 2008 SCGIS conference is Our Changing
World. As members of the conservation GIS community, we experience change
on a daily basis: from new software, hardware, and analytical techniques for
achieving our conservation goals to the changing and emerging conservation
challenges we work to overcome and find solutions for. At this year’s conference, we will consider the changes of yesterday, today, and tomorrow:
1. Yesterday: An opportunity to reflect on the conservation challenges we
have faced, our successes, failures, lesson learned, and how we have adapted
over time
2. Today: An opportunity to share how we are embracing and developing new
and changing technologies and how our approaches are changing given
changing conservation challenges
3. Tomorrow: An opportunity to share our visions of the future and how we
are contributing to that future—technology, techniques, and approaches to
conservation challenges
