WATCH VIDEO RECORDING

Conserving birds and biodiversity is a complex challenge that requires innovative science and technology, a detailed understanding of ecological and social systems, and the ability to implement sustainable solutions at global and local scales. It also requires a lot of data and tools that help us understand patterns. Join us as we welcome Dr. Amanda Rodewald, Garvin Professor, and Senior Director of the Center for Avian Population Studies. Dr. Rodewald is a conservation biologist whose work is motivated by a deep commitment to move science into action and build capacity in others. She collaborates with diverse scientists, decision-makers, practitioners, and with public and private partners to develop approaches that support people, biodiversity, and the environment.

Dr. Rodewald’s presentation will be an uplifting story about birds as powerful indicator species for wildlife and habitat conservation. She will highlight examples of how transformative eBird data and data products are used for environmental decision-making and achieving real-world conservation outcomes.

This webinar is a great introduction to the upcoming eBird Status and Trends workshop for researchers and conservationists that will be held Thursday October 10, 17, and 24th.

Video will appear on the BOW YouTube playlist after the event.
