PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS ON CONSERVATION: DYNAMIC NEW INITIATIVES FOR THE FUTURE

The debate about public-private partnerships on conservation has heated up in the last few years, with marquee joint ventures between environmental organizations and the world's most influential private companies creating optimism about the possibilities of such cooperation. World Wildlife Fund has been at the center of this dialogue. Roberts will speak about WWF's approach to such partnerships and progress to date. Roberts joined World Wildlife Fund in February 2004 as chief conservation officer and COO. Prior to joining WWF, Roberts was vice president for strategic planning and global priorities at the Nature Conservancy.
