The Conservation Science Center (CSC) focuses on building equitable and accessible pathways in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) because sustained landscape conservation needs to be led from within local communities. We build capacity through place-based immersive programming, opportunities to cultivate STEM identities, and the empowerment of local voices. We cultivate future managers and decision-makers from within local communities who are committed to long-term resiliency of New Mexico’s rich natural and cultural heritage, in fire-adapted and post-wildfire landscapes.
