Gabe Vasquez and Kevin Bixby will talk about conservation and how it fits in to the bigger challenges facing our world today. The extinction crisis is accelerating. Unlike any time in our history, scientist say that more than one million species are on track for extinction in the coming decades. What does this mean for mankind, and how can we make a difference? Protecting 30% of our land and seas by 2030 is quickly emerging as an answer, but what does that really mean for wildlife and humankind, and how can local conservation help? And if social change is at the heart of the answers we seek, how does a long overdue focus on diversity and inclusion help protect the environment and all living beings who depend on it? This fascinating evening with two articulate and passionate conservationists will open our hearts and minds to the challenges we face.
