The Next Level of Protection of Conservation Lands
đź—“ Tuesday, April 22, 2025
🕖 7:15 PM – 8:45 PM
đź“Ť Unitarian Universalist Church of Boulder
5001 Pennsylvania Avenue, Boulder, CO 80303 (map)
What started in the 1950s as a mission to identify special natural areas
has now become a race to conserve the remaining fragments of nature under
pressure from climate change, development, and time itself.
Join us for a compelling evening with Chris Pague, Senior Conservation
Ecologist at The Nature Conservancy, as he examines the critical question:
Can traditional conservation tools keep up with today’s global challenges?
Chris will share insights drawn from a career spanning over 45 years—from
the edge of Purgatoire Canyon to the vast grasslands of Mongolia—exploring:
- The evolution of conservation planning and the inadequacy of
protecting just 10%
- Challenges in funding, land access, and cross-border conservation
- Innovative strategies from the Southern High Plains Initiative
- Success stories that prove bolder conservation is not just
necessary—it’s possible
About Chris Pague:
Chris has worked across 11 countries, worked with The Nature Conservancy
(TNC) to establish the Colorado Natural Heritage Program (CNHP), led
ecoregional assessments, worked with bison restoration, and helped shape
Colorado’s newest state park—Fishers Peak. His current work merges
economics and ecology for transformative impact across the Great Plains and
beyond.
