Survival by Degrees: The Effect of Climate Change on Birds

Date: Thursday, June 4, 2020

Time: 6:30 P.M.

Speaker: Steve Hagenbuch, Conservation biologist, Audubon Vermont

Last fall the National Audubon Society released Survival by Degrees: 389 Bird Species on the Brink . This latest report provides insights into what a changing climate is likely to mean for bird populations over the course of the century and ultimately, the planet that we share with them. Audubon’s new science shows that two-thirds (389 out of 604) of North American bird species are at risk of extinction from climate change if warming reaches 3°C (5.4°F) above the pre-industrial average. The good news is that the same science shows if we take action now, and hold warming to no more than 1.5°C (2.7°F), we can help improve the chances for 76% of species at risk.

On Thursday, June 4 join us virtually to hear Steve Hagenbuch discuss the implications of this new science for Vermont's birds, including Vermont's iconic state bird the Hermit Thrush.
