    Collaboration - why it's hard, why it's frustrating, and why I still think it is the way forward: reflections on collaboration in Montana's Crown of the Continent
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 2014-01-31) Parker, Melanie, speaker; Unidentified speaker
    In the 1990's, collaborative efforts sprung up in small towns all across the American West. Most were born out of local citizen efforts to address seemingly intractable conflicts around natural resource management. Since that time, local collaborative groups have given way to more regional collaborative efforts, and collaboration has begun to find itself codified in law and agency best practices. Melanie will be sharing her own reflections on the current practice of collaboration and hopes to also engage in a thoughtful discussion regarding the merits of this approach to natural resource management.

    Collaborative conservation at CSU: where are we now and where should we go?
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 2014-03-25) Reid, Robin, speaker; Unidentified speaker
    Colorado State University has tremendous strengths in collaborative governance and conservation across campus. We started the Center for Collaborative Conservation 6 years ago to build upon and magnify that strength. In the process, we created a set of programs that attempt to build the ability of students, faculty and conservation practitioners to be more successful in collaborative efforts. Please come to this short seminar and long discussion to suggest how we might go forward together to take collaborative governance and conservation at CSU to even higher levels.

    Cross-cultural communication of knowledge and study results: a case for Mongolia
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 2014-04-08) Ulambayar, Tungalag, speaker; Unidentified speaker
    Tungaa's fellowship project aimed to support the outreach objectives of the Mongolian Rangelands and Resilience (MOR2) project of Colorado State University by implementing two activities. The first was to create a nation-wide radio program targeted to the learning needs of pastoral herders and the second was to contribute to increasing research capacity of Mongolian students to conduct studies using MOR2 data. Her radio program communicated preliminary research results of MOR2 regarding effects of collaborative management practices of formally organized community groups on their livelihoods, social relations as well as resource conditions contributing to their resilience to climate change. The project was implemented for a 4-month period starting from mid-June, 2012. Proposed activities took place both in Mongolia and U.S.A in collaboration with the Mongolian National Radio, individual young researchers based in Mongolia and the CSU MOR2 team members. Lessons learned from the fellowship project include that scientists should provide feedback to local communities after their survey taken in their places. In Mongolian condition summer time is not very good time to broadcast educational program on radio. Designing short-term training requires extra careful consideration of content in order to prevent incomplete understanding of the key topics.
