Birds of the Northern Forests with Michale Glennon, Ph.D of Wildlife Conservation Society Wednesday, November 13, 2013 7:00 PM at the Cold Spring Harbor Library
Program: New York State’s Adirondack Park is a large, intact breeding ground for numerous migratory bird species, several of which are declining throughout their range. A unique component of the Adirondack avifauna are the birds inhabiting the boreal peatlands of the park. Climate change is now widely recognized as the pre eminent threat to biodiversity in the 21st Century. At the southern range extent for this ecosystem type and many of its avian inhabitants, the park is a valuable location from which to monitor changes in bird populations from a warming climate. Studies suggest that bird responses to climate change may be mediated by urbanization, highlights the importance of metapopulation dynamics, and raises important implications for potential conservation strategies in these habitats.

It is up to science to spread the understanding that the choice is not between wild places or people, it is between a rich or an impoverished existence for Man."
