SUMMARY:Owls of the Eastern Ice with Author Jonathan C. Slaught
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual book club event with Author Jonathan C. Slaught on a quest to find and save the world’s largest owl.\n\n\nJoin us for an exciting virtual event featuring Jonathan C. Slaught\, author of Owls of the Eastern Ice: The Quest to Find and Save the World’s Largest Owl. This captivating book tells the story of Slaught’s journey to safeguard one of nature’s rarest birds\, the Blakiston’s fish owl\, found only in the remote forests of Primorye\, a region where Russia\, China\, and North Korea converge. \nPrimorye\, a land where brown bears\, tigers\, and leopards coexist\, is home to this elusive and endangered owl. A chance encounter with the Blakiston’s fish owl transformed Slaught’s life\, sparking a lifelong mission to protect this species from extinction. In his pursuit\, Slaught navigated thousands of miles through harsh taiga terrain\, spending months with Russian locals who endure the extreme conditions of this untamed wilderness. His work also highlights the impact of logging on the owl’s fragile habitat and the ongoing struggle to preserve it for future generations of both wildlife and humans. \nFrom 2006 to 2010\, Slaught studied Blakiston’s fish owls in Russia for his PhD in Wildlife Conservation at the University of Minnesota. These owls\, the largest in the world at over 11 pounds\, rely on salmon and other aquatic prey\, despite living in regions where rivers freeze for much of the year. His groundbreaking research\, in collaboration with the Russian Academy of Sciences\, helped form the foundation for a conservation management plan to protect these rare birds. \nSlaught’s memoir\, Owls of the Eastern Ice\, published in 2020\, garnered widespread acclaim\, being named a New York Times Notable Book and earning spots on The Wall Street Journal’s Ten Best Books of 2020 and the shortlist for the National Book Award. It also won the 2021 PEN/E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award. In this event\, Slaught will share his adventures in the field\, the challenges of conservation work\, and ongoing efforts to save the endangered Blakiston’s fish owl. \n \nAbout the Author:  \nSlaught received both MS and PhD degrees from the University of Minnesota\, in Conservation Biology and Wildlife Conservation\, respectively\, and an undergraduate degree in Russian Language from Drew University in New Jersey. He’s worked for the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) since 2011\, where he is now the Regional Director of their Temperate Asia Program. His duties include oversight and strategic conservation planning of all WCS activities in Russia\, Mongolia\, China\, Central Asia\, Afghanistan\, and Iran. He also coordinates WCS avian conservation activities along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway from the tundra in the Arctic to the mudflats of Southeast Asia. Slaught’s writings\, scientific research\, and photographs have been featured by the BBC World Service\, the New York Times\, The Guardian\, Smithsonian Magazine\, The New Yorker\, The Atlantic\, and Audubon Magazine\, among others. He is currently finishing his second book\, titled “Tigers Between Empires\,” about Amur tiger conservation in northeast Asia. \nTo learn more\, visit his personal website or the Wildlife Conservation Society website. \n\n\n\nThis presentation is also part of The Nestled Nook\, our exclusive\, members-only book club that offers a unique opportunity to engage with authors and explore fascinating nature\, avian\, and conservation-themed books. Led by host Hilary Penner\, members enjoy in-depth discussions and personal insights from featured authors\, making each session an enjoyable experience.

SUMMARY:Bringing Specimens to Life Through Stories of Inspiration and Discovery
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exclusive behind the scenes “virtual tour” of the Cornell University Museum of Vertebrates with Curator Vanya Rohrer!\n\n\nNatural history collections fuel scientific discovery. They are the corner stones upon which knowledge about species are built. They allow detailed examination of traits and genes to understand the rich and continuously unfolding evolutionary history of life on earth. They offer glimpses into how populations and species respond to natural and human-caused environmental changes and\, in so doing\, help guide conservation efforts. Despite these benefits and services\, many people view collections as outdated relics of the past. of natural history collections. During this live virtual walkthrough\, Vanya Rowher will highlight some of ways that Cornell’s Ornithological collection is being used\, with the hopes that attendees gain a better appreciation for the value and uses of natural history collections. \nAbout the Presenter \nVanya Rohwer is the Curator of the Bird and Mammal Collection at the Cornell University Museum of Vertebrates. Growing up in the Pacific Northwest\, he marked the seasons by the arrival and departure of migratory birds and the flowering and senescence of plants. Vanya is a firm believer that spending time outside leads to new observations\, new ideas\, and creative ways of thinking about natural systems. For graduate work\, he studied nest building behaviors of birds and\, to this day\, can’t seem to stop marveling at bird nests. Vanya’s interest in natural history collections began as a child roaming the hallways of the ornithology collection at the Burke Museum in Seattle Washington\, where his father\, Sievert\, was the Curator of birds. Because of this\, Vanya grew up steeped in museum activities that ranged from adventures in the field to tending the colony of beetle used to prepare skeleton specimens. This upbringing has instilled in Vanya a deep appreciation of natural history collections and he is excited to try an exclusive “virtual tour” of the Cornell University Museum of Vertebrates for Audubon Everglades. \n \nLearn more here: \nhttps://www.cumv.cornell.edu/ \n\n\n\nA celebration of avian diversity.  \n\n\n\nVanya instilling in his daughter\, Nona\, a curiosity and love for nature.

Callaghan is an Assistant Professor of Global Ecology at the University of Florida\, where he leads the Global Ecology Research Group in the Department of Wildlife Ecology and Conservation. His research focuses on understanding how species respond to human-induced changes in the environment. By adopting a multi-taxa approach\, Dr. Callaghan and his team integrate large datasets\, including those derived from citizen science and remotely-sensed products\, with advanced quantitative methods\, geospatial analyses\, and macroecological theory. This comprehensive approach allows them to uncover the processes and mechanisms that shape biodiversity in our rapidly changing world.

Even as a kid growing up in Venezuela\, he always kept a copy of “A Guide to the Birds of Venezuela” by Rodolphe Meyer de Schauensee and William H. Phelps (1978)\, the first bird field guide for any Latin American country\, within reach. Yet he only became a “serious” birder around 2006 when he joined his father on a birding trip with Venezuela’s Audubon Conservation Society to Yacambú National Park\, at the northernmost edge of the eastern Andes. After seeing a male Golden-winged Manakin (Masius chrysopterus) take off in front of him in the cloud forest\, he went home\, bought a pair of binoculars and was hopelessly hooked…Turned into a fully-fledged bird nerd\, Beto has been actively birding ever since\, often with his birding parents\, serving as a voluntary eBird reviewer for Venezuela since 2008 and joining several Audubon chapters as he moves around for work. A civil engineer working in renewable energy development\, Beto has lived in Mexico (Mexico City and Pachuca)\, Colorado (Boulder) and\, now Florida (Boca Raton) with his wife and two teenage kids.
