Join Brian Sullivan of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology for a glimpse into what the Cornell Lab of Ornithology is doing to create an ecosystem of tools. This program is online via Zoom.
It's easy to feel hopeless these days. Our planet is on the edge, nearer than ever to the point of no return. Bird populations are crashing, as ecosystems around the world suffer from climate change, habitat loss, and myriad forms of anthropogenic deterioration. What can we do to stop it? What can you do? What can I do? If you find yourself struggling with these questions, join Brian Sullivan for a glimpse into what the Cornell Lab of Ornithology is doing to create an ecosystem of tools to engage a global community of birders, generate the best most actionable science from the data and get these data into the hands of decision-makers around the world—all in a collective effort to 'bend the curve' for birds, biodiversity, and humanity. Learn how you are making a difference in this battle, or, how you could. Together, we can measure the heartbeat of our planet through birds.
Join us for the February General Membership meeting via Zoom. The meeting and program are free and open to the public. The meeting starts at 7 with socializing and a brief business meeting. The program begins at 7:30 p.m. Please register below for a link to the program.
