SUMMARY:Lunchtime Discovery: Roaming the Wilds: Exploring NC Mammals Shore to Summit
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Aimee Rockhill\, Program Director and Associate Professor\, Natural Resource Conservation and Management\, Western Carolina University \n\nMammals\, those charismatic warm and fuzzies that roam our planet\, play a crucial role in both conservation and management efforts. Herbivores help shape plant communities through browsing and grazing\, and carnivores maintain ecological balance by maintaining prey populations. Likewise\, most mammals aid in forest regeneration by facilitating seed dispersal\, aerating our soils\, and returning nutrients to the landscape. North Carolina is home to an estimated 126 mammal species; 79 of which roam the terrestrial landscape. In this presentation. Dr. Rockhill will delve into her research journey that spans the state from the coast to the mountains and will share the basics of how her team surveys and monitors mammals. Learn about the avenues for your involvement in supporting the dedicated mammalogists across the state to enhance our understanding and fortify conservation efforts aimed at safeguarding these remarkable species.\nJoin us in the SECU Daily Planet Theater or watch the livestream 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.
