The first annual Ecosystem Services on Corporate Lands conference,
presented by the Wildlife Habitat Council in collaboration with the
World Resources Institute, will focus on the connections between habitat
management, biodiversity conservation, and sustainability with
ecosystem-based strategies.

Many companies often fail to incorporate ecosystem services
considerations into their site management decisions.  Tools are often
not fully attuned to the risk and opportunities arising from the
degradation and use of ecosystem services.  As a result, companies may
be caught unprepared or miss opportunities.

Even during the current difficult economic environment, communities
continue to require that corporate citizens operate in a sustainable way
and, increasingly, they view their natural resources in a comprehensive,
systematic way. Join us at this seminal conference as WHC works with its
members to understand and leverage these new tools for sustainability.
