The second of a minimum three-year initiative, this forum is designed for members, leaders, and volunteers in conservation-minded organizations like Chicago Wilderness. Additionally, members of the public and academics/practitioners with a focus on ethical issues will enjoy engaging with like-minded peers with the same goal of increasing sustainable impacts on the environment.
