Whole Earth Conservation: Designing Landscape that Work for People and Nature
Posted on Tuesday, December 3rd, 2019Dr. Claire Kremen of the University of British Columbia will be speaking on Oregon State University Campus this Friday Dec. 6. Dr. Kremen is currently one of the leading scientific voices in conservation science, particularly in strategizing conservation through land sparing and sharing and designing working lands for biodiversity conservation. As a conservation biologist, Dr. Kremen’s applied research advances the fields of ecology, biodiversity and agriculture, seeking mechanisms to prevent or reverse the loss of biodiversity – one of the greatest environmental challenges facing humanity in the 21st century. Her talk, “Whole Earth Conservation: Designing Landscapes that Work for People and Nature,” is free and open to the public. For more info: https://nature.berkeley.edu/kremenlab/
Harry Fuller will give us a look at the rich and diverse bird populations of Harney County—the Great Basin species we never get on this side of the Cascades. This includes the birds that pass through during migration, and those that are year-round residents.
Each year at the Good Earth Home, Garden & Living Show, hundreds of vendors with earth-friendly products gather to promote their wares and provide information on environmental and sustainability topics. Lane County Audubon Society’s booth will be part of the action again this year.

At the same time, some birds that were once common in the Willamette Valley are now rarely found.
