This coming Monday's speaker Ashley Dayer will be speaking on getting people engaged in bird conservation. Hope to see you here!
************************************* Monday, November 19, 7:30PM Cornell Lab of Ornithology Auditorium Engaging People in Bird and Habitat Conservation Ashley Dayer, Cornell Lab of Ornithology How do we close the gap between knowing and doing? Dayer proposes that there is an "implementation crisis" because what science has learned about threats to birds is not being translated into steps that could halt species declines.What's needed, Dayer argues, is a new focus on people. She will introduce this new way of thinking about bird conservation and provide examples nationally and locally of where people are effectively engaging in bird and habitat conservation.
