John,

We know many of you are practicing physical distancing, but that doesn't mean we have to remain socially isolated. The important work of the Center for Biological Diversity continues, and we want you to stay informed and up-to-date on our efforts.

Join us on Wednesday for an online conversation featuring Executive Director Kierán Suckling as well as our scientists, lawyers and political experts discussing the intersection of the extinction crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sign up now for the conversation on March 25 at 7:30 p.m. ET / 4:30 p.m. PT.

COVID-19 is exposing the effects of the global wildlife trade, consumption of wildlife, and human intrusion into wildlife habitat. The multibillion-dollar wildlife trade is driving species – from pangolins to giraffes – toward extinction. During our conversation on Wednesday you'll learn more about the work of our International Program to protect wildlife globally, fight extinction, and rein in wildlife trade.

We hope you can join us for an evening of conversation, connection, learning and activism.

The event is free but you must sign up to participate. Let us know you'll be there and we'll send along details for the call.
