^**Clare Aslan is an Assistant Professor with the Landscape Conservation Initiative at Northern Arizona University and a Senior Scientist with Conservation Science Partners. Her research focuses on the impacts of environmental change on species interactions and socio-ecological systems.
^***Christina Liang is a Research Ecologist with the USDA Forest Service, Pacific Southwest Research Station, Institute of Pacific Islands Forestry. Her research focuses broadly on the conservation of biodiversity, particularly in the face of environmental change, working in Hawai‘i and California. Current projects investigate the persistence of endemic species as well as the ecological impacts of non-native invasive wildlife species.
^****Ben Galindo is a senior Environmental Studies and Biology major at Southwestern University currently synthesizing non-native pollinator data collected in Hawai‘i this past summer. Through the volunteer work done with Native Plant Society of Texas and community garden, he re-vegetates nearby wild margins with native, pollinator-friendly annual and perennial flowers every spring and fall.
^*****Kimberly Hill is a student at the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry in the Natural Resources Management Program. She will graduate with a Bachelor's of Science with focuses in Water Resources and Recreation Resource and Protected Area Management. She is currently a part of the Doris Duke Conservation Scholars Program at NAU and is an Indigenous Environmental Leaders for the Future fellowship recipient at her college.
^******Walter Topete is a junior at the University of Houston pursuing a degree in biology with a minor in chemistry and energy and sustainability. As a Doris Duke Conservation Scholar, he has interned and worked with NAU's Department of Forestry and Landscape Conservation Initiative in Arizona as well as on Hawaii's Big Island. When not tutoring students, he can be found on the rugby field or playing guitar.
