You can also e-mail myself (or Claire O’Neil) with your event information if that is easier for you.
Spring Boston Biodiversity Consortium Meeting
When: May 2nd, 2024 | 02:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)
Where: Franklin Zoo (directions) if you choose to attend in person or hybrid via Zoom.
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, Citizen Scientist Extraordinaire, will present her work with rare local species in South Eastern MA and what a difference individual people can make in monitoring and supporting local wildlife.
