The 24th Annual Red Clay Conference was held Friday, March 23, 2012 at the University of Georgia School of Law's Dean Rusk Hall. It explored measures for reconciling economic growth and ecosystem sustainability and changes to the federal endangered species list, regulation of non-indigenous species, market-based conservation tools, and initiatives to protect Georgia's long-leaf pine forests.

It was presented by The Environmental Law Association and the University of Georgia School of Law. It was sponsored by Professor Bertis Downs, Westlaw, LexisNexis, and the University of Georgia School of Law.
