SUMMARY:Preventing Extinctions: A Special Conversations event
DESCRIPTION:On February 17, join Canada’s National Observer founder Linda Solomon and The Tyee’s David Beers, in a special event with conservation photographer Andrew S. Wright and biologist Gregg Howald.\nIsland Conservation works to prevent extinctions on islands. They remove invasive species from fragile ecosystems to protect native biodiversity. This exhibit is a celebration of their success. It invites you to imagine Island Conservation’s work as a part of a global effort where people contribute to the health of the world’s environment.\nSince 1994, Island Conservation teams up with local communities, governments, and conservation groups in their effort to save species. Their efforts focus on the environments where species are the most vulnerable. Working together, they have successfully restored sixty-five islands worldwide, benefiting over 500 species.\nThis exhibit features and celebrates the success of five islands. Gwaii Haanas, Canada – Okinoshima, Japan – Kaho’o’lawe, Hawaii – Palmyra Atoll, Northern Line Islands, South Pacific – Isla Floreana and Seymour Norte, Galapagos.\nThe recovery work requires determination and endurance. The outcomes are profound and spectacular to experience. It is our hope that this exhibit whisks you to another place and invites you to join this work. Together, we can create a more vibrant world. We can be the architects of the Accretocene Age.\nFor further adventure reading consider the Pelican’s Paradise available in Science World’s Science Store. The exhibit also acknowledges and deeply thanks Science World, The Tyee, and Canada’s National Observer for their support over the last decade in communicating the importance of island conservation endeavours to a wide public audience.\nThe exhibit was conceived by conservation photographer and Science World supporter Andrew S. Wright.\n
