Survival By Degrees - The Impact of Climate Change on Birds
Details
Join us on Zoom for a presentation by bird enthusiast Tom Tribble.
For over 100 years, Audubon had focused on making the world a better place for birds. In 2014, National Audubon released a Birds and Climate Change Report. The report established that shrinking and shifting ranges due to the changing climate could imperil more than half of the 588 species of North America breeding birds involved in the study - within this century. This seven-year science investigation, made possible by decades of community-science data, sounded an alarm that made news around the world. In early October of 2019, National Audubon released a follow-up report - Survival By Degrees - that paints an even more challenging situation for birds if the world does not take action to reduce global warming. This presentation will summarize the results of this study and discuss actions that individuals can take to help birds.
Tom Tribble served six years as President and is now Immediate Past President of Blue Ridge Audubon Chapter, which covers Buncombe, Henderson, Madison and several adjacent counties in western North Carolina. Tom has been an Audubon member and avid birder for 45 years. Tom worked for 30 years at the NC Center for Geographic Information & Analysis, the State's Geographic Information System, retiring in 2013. He holds a Bachelor's degree from Vanderbilt University and a Master's degree from Duke University.
