The looming biodiversity crisis points to the need for a concerted, whole-of-government response. In this briefing and discussion with the National Caucus of Environmental Legislators, CCI’s director, Jacob Malcom, talked with state legislators from around the nation about the need and outline of a National Biodiversity Strategy, as has been proposed by Rep. Joe Neguse (CO-2) in H.Res. 69.
As the previous Director in the Center for Conservation Innovation at Defenders, Jacob led CCI’s work at the intersection of science, technology, and policy to improve conservation outcomes, especially for threatened and endangered species.
