Upcoming Public Briefing Webinar
Biodiversity at Risk: Today's Choices Matter

Thursday, January 27, 2022 | 3:00-4:00 pm ET

Register Now<https://nap.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=eaea39b6442dc4e0d08e6aa4a&id=450f5a2f85&e=316766d51e>

A growing body of evidence has sounded the alarm that the biodiversity that supports and sustains life on Earth is at risk. Habitat destruction, resource exploitation, and climate change are among the many stressors that have put 1 million species under threat of extinction and sharply reduced the populations of many plant and animal species. While researchers and global leaders ramp up efforts to address this existential threat, the significance of species loss and the value of preserving biodiversity is not widely recognized by policy makers or the public.

A new booklet, produced by an international committee of experts, provides a publicly accessible overview of the many dimensions of biodiversity and why it's vital to the health of all life on the planet. The booklet also examines the causes of biodiversity loss and presents actions that can be taken from the individual to the global level to stop this decline. The public is invited to attend this briefing to learn about this new resource from members of the authoring committee.

The free pdf of the booklet will be available online at nap.edu at 11:00 a.m. EST on January 27, 2022.

For more information please visit the study webpage<https://nap.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=eaea39b6442dc4e0d08e6aa4a&id=6c2c63ad6a&e=316766d51e>.


The briefing will be accessible via Zoom Webinar on Thursday, January 27, 2022, from 3-4 pm ET. A connection link will be provided via email after registering. Closed captioning will be provided during the webinar. The conversation will be recorded and available to view on the event webpage after the event.
