Webinar: Dos Rios Conservation Cooperative Ecosystem Stressors
Channel: Conservation and Adaptation Resources Toolbox
Date: 2019-04-18

The Dos Rios Conservation Cooperative is a partnership that includes members of the Rio Grande Joint Venture, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, the Borderlands Research Institute at Sul Ross State University, and the World Wildlife Fund, among others. This collection of partners have been working to identify and address conservation needs in the desert grassland and riparian ecosystems along the Rio Grande/Rio Bravo and  the Rio Conchos in the areas around the international border of Texas and Mexico. Conservation professionals in the Chihuahuan Desert and Rio Conchos Basin recently participated in an exercise that ranked stressors having the most impact in priority ecosystems of the region. This webinar reviewed the methodology and showed some examples of how results will help identify where in the region these stressors are having the most impact and which specific management strategies could be prioritized to address these issues.
