Join Point Blue Communications Manager Lishka Arata to learn about what's happening with Point Blue Conservation Science as they near their 60th birthday! Lishka has been with the organization for 20 of those sixty years. She started as a bird banding intern then migrated through field biology and education to where she has now landed in conservation communications. She'll share an introductory overview of the California-based organization as well as ways you can get involved with the far-reaching, climate-smart work happening today. Learn more about Point Blue at www.pointblue.org and follow them on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and X.
Presenter: Lishka Arata, Point Blue Communications Manager
Lishka Arata graduated from Humboldt State University in 2003 with a B.S. in Biology and joined the Point Blue team in 2004 as a bird banding intern at the Palomarin Field Station in Bolinas, CA. She has worked as a field biologist in Point Blue’s San Francisco Bay Tidal Marsh, Central Valley Riparian, and Northern Sierra Forest projects. Outside of her work with Point Blue, she has conducted Marbled Murrelet surveys in Southwest Oregon, Yellow-billed Cuckoo monitoring in Southeast Arizona, and plant (tropical liverwort) research on the Island of Trinidad. In 2007 she migrated from field biology to conservation education to disseminate Point Blue’s science to various audiences and help inspire the current and next generation of conservation scientists and environmental stewards. And in 2017 she took a natural step towards the communications aspect of conservation in hopes to evolve and increase her positive impact towards achieving Point Blue’s mission.
