SUMMARY:Lunchtime Discovery: Connecting Natural Habitats to Save Half-Earth
DESCRIPTION:Ron Sutherland\, Chief Scientist\nWildlands Network \nDr. Sutherland will present the case for reconnecting\, rewilding\, and restoring natural habitats in order to save biodiversity and prevent extinctions. Centuries of habitat loss and road-building have taken their toll on ecosystems around the world\, and the resulting fragmentation poses a huge obstacle to climate change adaptation and day-to-day survival. Fortunately\, there is a solution: we can do far more to stitch the remaining wild landscapes back together into functional networks\, creating wildlife corridors and installing wildlife road crossings to boost habitat connectivity. By scaling these efforts up\, we can still get to protecting Half-Earth\, E.O. Wilson’s audacious and optimistic goal of saving at least 50% of the planet in order to protect 90% of the Earth’s species from extinction. \nJoin us on YouTube!\n\nLive Virtual Presentation hosted by NC Museum of Natural Sciences’ SECU Daily Planet Curator Chris Smith and the NC Department of Environmental Quality Office of Environmental Education and Public Affairs staff. \nYou can post questions in the YouTube chat or tweet questions to #LunchTimeDiscovery and mention @NorthCarolinaEE. \nBrought to you by the NC DEQ Office of Environmental Education and Public Affairs and the NC Museum of Natural Sciences.
