It’s webinar season again! On Wednesday, November 18th at 6:00pm Pacific Time. We will start our webinar series off with a talk by Bird Banding Biologist Lesley Howes with the Canadian Wildlife Service at Environment and Climate Change Canada. Lesley leads Canada’s national Bird Banding Office and oversees Canada’s bird banding regulatory and scientific permitting programs. Lesley’s talk is titled “From Sh****ns to Satellites: A Legacy of Bird Conservation in North America​.” Register below.
“North America has a long history of bird conservation, rooted in the early 1900s and formalized through the Migratory Birds Convention of 1916. But what were the concerns that led Canada and the United States to establish this landmark agreement, and how did those early efforts help shape today’s conservation ethic? In this presentation, Lesley explores the historical threats facing migratory birds and the emergence of a conservation movement rooted in citizen science, public engagement, and a growing appreciation for the value of birds. She traces the evolution of tools used to study birds, from specimen collection using sh****ns to bird banding and today’s rapidly evolving modern tracking technologies that continue to transform avian research. By linking past and present approaches, this talk highlights how traditional methods and modern innovations work together to advance our understanding of birds and provide hope for their conservation in a changing world.”
