Event Date: Tuesday, March 6, 2012

Start Time: 7:30 pm

Fee: $5 for Nature Manitoba members, $10 for non-members (students: $3 for members, $5 for non-members).

Instructor: Christian Artuso, Nature Manitoba Birder

Location: Kelvin High School, Room 31

Approximately 14% of the world’s bird species are considered globally threatened and another 8% are listed as “near-threatened”. This talk will attempt to summarize global patterns of endangerment, discuss international vs national/regional criteria for “red-listing” species, examine various threat types and which birds are most vulnerable to them, and try to engage you in a conversation about conservation on a continental, hemispheric and global scale.
