Whither Wildlife in the 21st century?

Public lecture by David Bird, Prof. of Wildlife Biology and Director Avian Science and Conservation Centre (McGill). With six billion people and counting, the world rushes headlong into the 21st century and wildlife is caught in the headlights. Habitat degradation, exploitation and invasive species are all taking their toll and there will be winners and losers. Professor Bird will discuss what the future holds for some of the Earth’s most vulnerable species. Following the discussion, there will be a special presentation, as a preserved passenger pigeon is donated to the Museum by Bird Protection Quebec/Protection des oiseaux du Québec.
