Topic: Looking Forward (Virtual Meeting)
Tuesday, Dec. 27; 12:30 – 1:30 p.m.

Join us as we explore current events in nature conservation! To wrap up 2022, we’ll be using the book Beloved Beasts: Fighting for Life in an Age of Extinction by Michelle Nijhuis to springboard into a discussion about conservation news from this year as well as what we hope to see in the field moving forward.

Author Michelle Nijhuis will be joining our virtual chat as a guest speaker!

Nijuis’s book walks the reader through the modern conservation movement, highlighting the contributions of notable figures and little-known contributors alike while exploring challenges like climate change, settler colonialism and more. Reading of the book is encouraged but not required to participate!
