   The CNPS 2009 Conservation Conference: Strategies and Solutions aims to bring together over 1,000 scientists, conservationists, university students, public policy makers, local and regional planners, and land managers from all regions of the state and beyond to share and learn about the latest developments in conservation science and public policy.

  We seek solutions-based papers and posters on the following topics: climate change and California's flora; rare plant conservation and restoration; mitigation and monitoring of impacts to plants and communities; invasive species; vegetation classification and mapping to promote native plant conservation; conservation genetics; achieving equal protection for plants; regional planning tools; land management; and basic conservation-related plant science. We also seek papers on plant conservation from regional and ecosystem-level perspectives, including Baja California.
