Equity in Birdwatching: Reflections and Experiences through a Community-led Perspective
Thursday, March 13, 7 p.m.
Zoom
For conservation to be truly effective, communities must feel a deep connection to their local environment. This connection often grows through partnerships between scientific institutions and underrepresented groups.
The Equity in Birdwatching initiative emphasizes inclusivity, social justice, and community-driven conservation, demonstrating how diverse perspectives help us better understand challenges and find meaningful solutions.
Birdwatching offers a way to connect with nature and other cultures, sparking action on equity and supporting the protection of our planet’s natural resources. Birds, as indicators of environmental health, play a crucial role in driving positive change.
Celebrate Urban Birds, a community-based project from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, champions equity and inclusive practices in birding and ornithology.
Join us for the final Young, Gifted and Wild About Birds presentation of 2025.
