Workshop Goals

• The Spotlight on Conservation Regional Workshops are intended to accomplish the following goals:
• Put a spotlight on natural resource and working landscape conservation throughout the state;
• Introduce the California Legacy Project;
• Gather information on conservation and monitoring plans and available data sets;
• Gain a better understanding of local priorities, the criteria participants might use for investing in conservation of various resources, and the investment tools participants believe most applicable to their regions.

• Information gathered from each of the workshops will be carefully managed to inform all relevant aspects of the Legacy Project, most notably:
• Identify criteria for investing in conservation of various resource types. These criteria will result in map layers displayed in the Legacy Project's web-based conservation decision support tools;
• Digital catalogue and map of existing regional/local conservation efforts. This catalogue will also be accessible on the Project's web-based tools and;
• Summarized results of information from the regional workshops will contribute to the Project's second annual Conservation Priorities Report.
