Hello Viorel and Joe,



Please feel free to share this. A great opportunity, Aimee Delach has worked with Defenders for 19 years. Her spouse recently took a position at the Voinovich School and she will be moving here this summer. Her talk below will be presented at the Science March in DC on April 22. Please share with students. If you would like to have a meeting with her I can arrange that. She might come to a classroom for example.-- Loraine



The Future Isn't What It Used to Be: Protecting Wildlife in an Era of Climate Change

Aimee Delach-Defenders of Wildlife  http://www.defenders.org/staff/aimee-delach

April 11, 6:30-8:30 pm

Ohio University

Friends of the Library Room 319

We know that greenhouse gas emissions are altering our climate, threatening  public health, agriculture and communities. But what about wildlife and the habitats they depend on? This teach-in will explore the impacts of a changing climate  - many of which are already underway - to familiar species like monarch butterflies and polar bears, as well as to pollinators and some of our lesser-known imperiled wildlife. We will also discuss the critical role of our nation's science infrastructure in understanding these impacts and protecting species and habitats in light of these threats.

This presentation is part of a talk delivered by Delach at the upcoming  March for Science/ Earth Day Network Teach-In series that will take place at the Science Rally  on the Washington Mall on April 22.

Her areas of focus include the impacts of climate change on imperiled species, the development of adaptation strategies for wildlife and habitat, and helping agencies incorporate climate science into their decision-making processes. Delach also supports the renewable energy team, drawing on past work as a member of the Wind Turbine Guidelines Federal Advisory Committee. Aimee has been with Defenders for 19 years, and has also worked on avian issues, farm bill conservation programs, invasive species and wildlife disease topics, and provided general science support to the organization with in ecology.
