Beavers are often called ecosystem engineers for their ability to transform streams and wetlands, creating habitat for wildlife and improving watershed health. But their work on the landscape can also create real challenges for landowners, water managers, and communities.

In this episode, we explore the development of the Colorado Beaver Conservation and Management Strategy, a statewide effort led by Colorado Parks and Wildlife to support beaver conservation while addressing conflicts where they occur.

Keystone Policy Center facilitated the the collaborative process that allowed scientists, landowners, conservation organizations, Tribal Nations, and community stakeholders to come together to share perspectives and help shape the strategy.

In this final episode of Keystone’s 50th anniversary series, we explore The Invisible Hand of Keystone—the lasting, often unseen impact of collaborative work that continues long after a dialogue ends. From the Keystone Science School to the Forum for Collaborative HIV Research, Field to Market, the Sustainable Purchasing Leadership Council, and the Kwiyagat Community Academy, we trace how initiatives that began under Keystone’s guidance have grown into independent organizations shaping policy, practice, and communities across the country. This episode reflects on Keystone’s enduring legacy and the power of collaboration to create change that lasts.

In the final episode of Keystone’s three-part agriculture series — part of the organization’s 50th Anniversary celebration — we explore how Keystone brought its collaborative approach to one of the most transformative scientific frontiers: gene editing. When CRISPR technology emerged, Keystone helped lead the creation of CRISPRcon, a global forum for open dialogue about the promise and responsibility of gene editing. This episode reveals how CRISPRcon, and Keystone’s subsequent NGO Gene Editing Roundtable, helped define what responsible innovation looks like: transparent, inclusive, and grounded in open discussion.
