Welcome back to the Land Steward Podcast, and thank you for joining us for part 2 of our episode on the Endangered Species Act. This week we're taking you behind the scenes of the Endangered Species Act 50th Anniversary Symposium that took place in Austin, TX in November.

BW recaps the event and interviews a few different guests at the event about their experiences being in the room with some major players in the field of conservation and some key takeaways from the three panels covering the past, present, and future of the ESA.

Thank you to all our interviewees—Mike Marshall (NRI), Shelby McCay (NRI), Roel Lopez (NRI, Texas A&M Department of Rangeland Wildlife and Fisheries Management), Mike Leahy (National Wildlife Federation), and Lindsay Martinez (East Foundation).

Welcome back to the Land Steward Podcast. This week we’re excited to dive in with our first guest host, expert in conservation education and endangered species processes, Shelby McCay, to talk about the Endangered Species Act, its legacy over the past 50 years, and what the future of endangered species conservation looks like as a new generation of leaders take the helm.

We discuss the upcoming ESA 50-year Anniversary Symposium taking place in Austin, Texas in November, give a little bit of background on the original history and purpose of the ESA, and hear stories from Shelby about her experiences working with endangered species in the field so that you, the land steward, can feel equipped with a new perspective and the best information about the Endangered Species Act.

Welcome to The Land Steward Podcast. We're excited to get this new podcast off the ground to provide a space for land stewards who are looking to learn, no matter how they relate to the land, and a library of relatable conversations and resources around stewardship. At the Institute, we're fortunate to be in a unique space between research on the landscape and teaching within the College of Ag and Life Sciences. Our vision is that landowners, managers, and students find something in every episode whether it's a new perspective, a glint of expertise or a tool they have yet to try.

We cover a little about your host, the Institute, and where you can find resources from the Institute and our partners.
