Joe Zebrowski is a former instructor in Geospatial Technology at New Mexico Highlands University in Las Vegas, NM, where he taught remote sensing and geographic information systems courses and assisted students, faculty, and staff with mapping projects. He continues to work on small mapping projects through NMHU. He also provides GIS support to conservation efforts at Ikh Nart Nature Reserve in Mongolia. He also facilitates collaborative conservation projects and has a strong interest in landscape-scale conservation. Joe received a Bachelor of Arts in History and a Master of Sciences in Geography, both from Texas A&M University.
“Through a prior military career, I directly learned the importance of collaboration among diverse groups in getting any task done. As a mapping professional, I was since often called on to use my skills to create a common understanding of on the ground conservation efforts. This often led to facilitating discussions and meetings, which drew me into the world of collaborative conservation. In addition to improving ways maps can be used to assist collaborative conservation, I have a strong interest in the human factors that affect how partners work together.”
In 1987, Rox Hicks began working for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as a volunteer biologist at the National Elk Refuge, Jackson, Wyoming. She later achieved permanent status working on habitat projects and assisting the principal biologist with ungulate studies. In 1997, Rox relocated to northwest Montana continuing as a Montana Partners for Fish and Wildlife biologist stationed at the Creston Fish and Wildlife Center, Kalispell, Montana. Currently, Rox is located in Baggs, Wyoming, working with the Wyoming Landscape Conservation Initiative to deliver habitat improvement projects, build partnerships, and funding for both public and private interests.
Rox works to maintain existing partnerships and develop innovative partnerships to achieve collaborative conservation. Networking and developing common sense solutions among private and public interests leads to successful on-the-ground conservation and connections across western landscapes.
