Endangered species Bulletin.

Human endeavors in the conservation of imperiled species are a fairly recent development, scarcely more than a century old. In that brief span, we have witnessed the emergence of new ideas to describe the diversity of species on this planet and ways to conserve them.

In recent years, many of these ways reflect a cooperative conservation approach characterized by emphasis on innovation, incentives, local involvement, and on-the-ground action.

In this Bulletin, we highlight some of the programs designed to give landowners and other concerned citizens greater opportunities for innovation and involvement in wildlife conservation. These approaches are known by a variety of acronyms, but they fall under a venerable term: partnership.

How can we define partnership? Think of it as symbiosis--with awareness, creativity, and passion.
