SUMMARY:Natural Areas Association: Insect Apocalypse? What Is Really Happening\, Why It Matters and How Natural Area Managers Can Help
DESCRIPTION:Jun 18\, 2019 12:00 PM in Eastern Time \nWebinar: \nThough they are indisputably the most important creatures on earth\, invertebrates are in trouble. Recent regional reports and trends in bio-monitoring suggest that insects are experiencing a multi-continental crisis evident through reductions in abundance\, diversity and biomass. Given the centrality of insects to terrestrial and freshwater aquatic ecosystems\, and the food chain that supports humans\, the potential importance of this crisis cannot be overstated. \nScott Hoffman Black will explain the latest science on insect declines and highlight important ways natural areas managers can incorporate invertebrate conservation into their land management portfolio. \n  \nMore Info/Register here

SUMMARY:Wildlife Habitat Council: Fired Up! Using Prescribed Fire in Your Habitat
DESCRIPTION:June 19\, 2019 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm EDT \nFire is a natural part of both forest and grassland ecology.

Prescribed burns\, also known as controlled fires\, can be a valuable tool in habitat management and restoration. In this webinar\, learn how several WHC-certified programs successfully use prescribed fire to manage and restore native habitat. \n  \nMore info here \nRegister

SUMMARY:MJV: Webinar: Integrating Social Science into Strategic Monarch Conservation
DESCRIPTION:Presenters:  \nChristine Browne Ph.D.\, Conservation Social Scientist\, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service\nLex Winter\, Environmental Social Scientist\, The Field Museum \nEvery corner of the landscape that the monarch butterfly navigates is shaped\, to some degree\, by humans. While this has resulted in a variety of obstacles for monarchs\, people are striving to create or maintain habitat for these charismatic creatures. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and the Field Museum’s Keller Science Action Center have been working to understand the social\, political\, and economic factors that produce environmental threats\, and foster those that benefit monarchs and their habitats. In this webinar\, USFWS Human Dimensions Team Lead Christine Browne will explain how these factors within the socio-ecological systems have been identified and considered in the development of conservation strategies\, and Field Museum Social Scientist Lex Winter will share research on how these factors play out on the ground in urban and suburban areas in the Midwest. \nTo register click here.
