Meeting Room: Palo Verde
Presenter: Juan Pablo
A udubon’s new science shows that two-thirds (64%) (389 out of 604) of North American bird species are at risk of extinction from climate change. The go od news is that our science also shows that if we take action now we can he lp improve the chances for 76% of species at risk. MDAS Young Birders Club Coordinator Juan Pablo Galván will present Audubon’s new report on the impa cts of climate change on birds. He’ll also show the drastic impacts that cl imate change is already having on the Bay Area and other parts of the world , attempt to explain why it’s been so difficult to make progress against a drastically warmer climate caused by humans, and make a provocative case fo r who is responsible for this tragedy. Most importantly, every person in th e audience and everywhere on the planet must ACT NOW to prevent catastrophi c climate change.
