Hi everyone, I wanted to post a reminder about this special Tuesday Night Seminar with Mark Avery this evening at 7:30 at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. It's sure to be thought-provoking and provide some interesting perspectives from Mark's experience at RSPB.
Please join us for the final "Monday Night Seminar" of the semester on TUESDAY, May 28th, at 7:30pm in the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's Visitor Center auditorium. Dr. Mark Avery presents: How to Do Bird Conservation the UK Way: The role of science Mark Avery is the former Conservation Director for the Royal Society fro the Protection of Birds (RSPB) and wildlife blogger for the The Independent newspaper. Mark Avery spent 25 years working for the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) in the UK–an organization with more than 1.1 million paying members. As Conservation Director for more than a decade, he led conservation actions: lobbying the UK government; carrying out species reintroductions; providing outreach to farmers; buying land for nature reserves. Dr. Avery will discuss how much of this success came down to science and how much to luck or politics. Mark's charismatic personality and insightful perspective on bird conservation from across the pond, ensures this will be an exciting finish to the Spring semester seminar series. The seminar is free and open to the public. Doors open at 7:00 and will close when the auditorium reaches capacity.
