This session explores the shared and unique challenges faced by students and faculty working in the field of conservation in Grenada and Newfoundland. Participants will discuss how island-specific factors, including ecological, social, and cultural contexts, influence conservation efforts. By comparing experiences, we aim to foster a deeper understanding of how geographical and institutional settings shape conservation strategies and collaboration opportunities.
