Our first lecture of 2024 will also be the first of our Stretch Our Parks Lectures. Help us kick off 2024 together from the comfort of home by tuning in to hear Dr. Charles Nilon, an ecologist and professor from the University of Missouri who has spent decades researching two of his lifelong passions – understanding how to safeguard urban biodiversity and how to make conservation biology more inclusive. He has been a lead researcher on projects combining data from more than 150 of the world’s cities to assess how ecological and socioeconomic factors influence birds in urban environments.
Join our virtual Audubon Afternoon on Sunday, January 7 at 3:00 PM, when Dr. Nilon will share his ideas about what actions cities and towns might take to protect biodiversity as human density increases, and why making conservation efforts more diverse, inclusive, and just is paramount to their success. Free - all are welcome. More information here. Register to get the zoom link or watch on facebook live.
