Biodiversity, Climate Change & The Sixth Extinction

Biodiversity, Climate Change and the Sixth Extinction – A Call To Action
Monday November 4, 7 p.m.

In March of 2019, a major report was announced from the United Nations with the headline: “Nature’s Dangerous Decline ‘Unprecedented’; Species Extinction Rates ‘Accelerating'”.  The report warned that 1 billion species are threatened with extinction and the current global response is insufficient, but it also optimistically reported there is time to solve this problem and proposed solutions.  This talk will review Earth’s extinction history and the recognition that we are now witnessing the sixth mass extinction, but this time, it is caused by humans.  It will cover how climate change is a significant factor but only one of many causes of this crisis and will highlight what we can do about it. In light of the recent decision by the Trump Administration to significantly weaken the Endangered Species Act, this talk will be a timely overview of what is at stake.  Free to the public

David Bird is a photographer based in Danielson, CT who got his start in character design by working for Lego in Denmark.  He makes characters out of acorns, sticks, and whatever eels he finds in the back yard,  and then he photographs them in the wild with real animals.  Most of these photos are the result of a careful study of animal behavior, patience, and a lot of birdseed.  You can view his photography and toy designs at davidmbird.com
