Presented by:
John Kostyack
Vice President
Wildlife Conservation National Wildlife Federation
Conservation of threatened wildlife has always been a challenging job, and it is especially challenging today as the natural systems that support wildlife are increasingly disrupted by climate change. Fortunately, along the coasts and floodplains where storms and floods are intensifying, some of the best strategies for saving endangered wildlife also happen to protect people and property. In his presentation, John will discuss his work at the National Wildlife Federation to achieve this "triple win" using the Endangered Species Act, flood insurance law, and the principles of climate change adaptation.
