Co-hosted by the USFWS National Conservation Training Center and the National Wildlife Federation
The National Wildlife Federation is pleased to announce a series of webinars with experts on climate change and wildlife related issues. These will be conducted monthly starting on May 13th.
The first webinar will feature Patty Glick, Senior Global Warming Specialist at NWF, who will present the findings of a recent literature review on climate change adaptation for wildlife and natural resources. To put the issue into context, she will also highlight results of NWF's analyses of sea-level rise impacts to coastal habitats and will offer a range of potential adaptation measures for coastal systems.
We plan to highlight experts in the emerging climate change and wildlife field as well as state and federal agencies in the forefront of integrating climate change into their wildlife management efforts.
Future Speakers include:
Chris Zganjar, The Nature Conservancy, ClimateWizard Model
Dr. Molly Cross, Wildlife Conservation Society, Emmissions Scenario Planning
Dr. Katherine Hayhoe, Downscaling Climate Data for your site, state or region
Dr. Jennie Hoffman, EcoAdapt, Vulnerability Assessments and worldwide efforts
