Audubon's Long Island Climate Conference

Audubon's Long Island Climate Conference A The event will be held on Saturday, October 28, 2017 at the Sisters of St. Joseph's in Brentwood Long Island.

With generous funding from National Audubon, Audubon's Long Island Climate Conference is a joint effort of Audubon NY, North Fork Audubon Society and the other udubon Chapters. Audubon’s Birds and Climate Change Report found that 314 North American bird species could lose more than half of their current ranges by 2080 due to global warming. To protect birds from the worst impacts of climate change

, you can make a difference through simple actions at home, in your community, and politically at large. Zach Slavin, Program Manager of Climate Watch, will be delivering the keynote address on how citizen and community science helps us understand how birds are responding in a changing climate. Participants will also hear from Elizabeth Bergstrom, Senior Communications Manager for Audubon's Climate Initiative, on the importance of turning sound conservation science into political action on local, state and national scales. Lastly, regional experts will speak on steps Long Island can take to further reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Featured breakout sessions will cover native plant ordinances, advancing clean energy solutions, mitigating sea level rise and more.

While the unknown disease affecting birds has not yet been reported in New York, it has been reported in neighboring Pennsylvania. We are taking a cue from wildlife agencies and suggesting the following five steps, for now:

1. Cease feeding birds and providing water in bird baths until this wildlife mortality event has concluded. This may be infectious.
2. Clean feeders and bird baths with a 10% bleach solution.
3. Avoid handling dead or injured wild birds. Wear disposable gloves if it is necessary to handle a bird.
4. Keep pets away from sick or dead birds as a standard precaution.
5. To dispose of dead birds, place them in a sealable plastic bag and discard with household trash. This will prevent disease transmission to other birds and wildlife.
