Changing the Future for Endangered Species Thursday March 23rd @ 7:30 pm Presented by *Dr. Onnie Byers* *IUCN SSC Conservation Breeding Specialist Group*
With so many challenges facing nature today, it can be hard not to become discouraged. But there is good news. There are successes. And calling attention to them celebrates the many scientific and collaborative efforts that make them happen, bolstering the resolve of specialists and concerned citizens alike. CBSG is a global network of conservation professionals dedicated to saving threatened species by increasing the effectiveness of conservation efforts worldwide. Hear about mammals from the coastal scrublands of Tasmania, amphibians from a unique gorge in Tanzania, birds from the forests of Japan, and plants from the rocky caves of Bermuda –stories that illustrate ways we are helping the people already working to conserve a species come to agreement on what needs to be done to succeed. *When:* Please join us from 7:00-7:30 pm to socialize over cookies. From 7:30 – 8:45 pm we have a brief business meeting and the featured speaker. *Where:* Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center 3815 American Blvd E, Bloomington. Hwy 494 to 34th Ave – S to American Blvd; turn left and go 2 blocks. Center will be on your right. Use the staff entrance in the center of the building (not the east door).
