The Nature Conservancy continues to make migratory bird conservation a global priority. In New York, the Conservancy is using scientific models and citizen science to guide land protection and influence energy siting and other land uses.
Jim Howe is the director of The Nature Conservancy’s Central & Western New York Chapter (www.nature.org), where he leads a team of 18 staff working to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends. The Nature Conservancy protects and restores land and water; equips people, governments, and businesses with tools to make better decisions about the way they use nature; and unites people behind the conservation of a healthy planet. In Central & Western New York, The Nature Conservancy is investing in places like Lake Ontario and Lake Erie, the Finger Lakes, Zoar Valley, Tug Hill, Montezuma, and New York’s Southern Tier. Jim has a bachelor’s degree in natural resources from Cornell University, and a master’s degree in public policy from the University of Michigan.
