AGENDA
Dr. Rachel Johnston, Zoo New England’s Conservation Genomics Scientist, will talk about the One Health program that ZNE is spearheading at the Manombo Special Reserve in Madagascar, which is one of the world's top 5 "hottest" biodiversity hotspots. Through this collaborative research program, we are measuring the impacts that community-led conservation efforts are having on biodiversity, zoonotic disease risk, and animal health.
Sharl Heller and Frank Mand, of the Southeastern Massachusetts Pine Barrens Alliance, will present on the globally rare coastal pine barrens they are working to save and their latest campaign to help save horseshoe crabs, including their effort to get them state listed.
Carol Entin, Citzen Scientist Extraordinaire, will present on her work with local rare species in South Eastern MA and what a difference individual people can make in monitoring and supporting local wildlife.
