Jackson Hole Wildlife Symposium returns

An every-other-year confab that convenes scientists and wildlife enthusiasts to learn about research and conservation efforts aiding animals in northwest Wyoming is going live this Wednesday. Because of COVID-19, this year’s edition of the Jackson Hole Wildlife Symposium is being held virtually. The theme of the 8th biennial event, put on by the Northern Rockies Conservation Cooperative, is “human-wildlife coexistence.” The live portion of the event will occur over Zoom from 2 to 3 p.m. Participants will hear opening remarks, learn the winners of a photography contest and the Craighead and Raynes conservation awards, and then have the option of tuning in for one of three breakout groups.
