[audubonconnect@audubon.org] is hoping you will attend Nature's Best Hope with
Entomologist and Author Doug Tallamy on Mon., March 15 at 7 PM.
Sign up for the Webinar via Zoom at https://act.audubon.org/a/tallamy?ms=aud-email-_20210310_(md)_nature%27s_best_hope&utm_source=ea&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=_20210310_(md)_nature%27s_best_hope&emci=79472910-e980-eb11-85aa-00155d43c992&emdi=51151db4-a481-eb11-85aa-00155d43c992&ceid=2504878.
The cost is $7 per person. Recent headlines about global insect declines and
three billion fewer birds in North America are a bleak reality check about how
ineffective our current landscape designs have been at sustaining the plants
and animals that sustain us.
Hear about simple steps that each of us can take to reverse declining biodiversity and how homeowners everywhere can turn their yards into conservation corridors that provide wildlife habitats. Tallamy is a professor in the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware. Chief among his research goals is to better understand the many ways insects interact with plants and how such interactions determine the diversity of animal communities.

On March 1, 1954, the United States tested its most powerful hydrogen bomb at 15 megatons, code named Castle Bravo. The plutonium and ionizing radiation weapons were created here in Washington State and detonated upon Bikini and Enewetak Atoll - Marshall Islands. In generations to come, people may be displaced, food security lost, and other chronic health conditions as an outcome of the nuclear era. We are not alone! We shall never forget! The resilience and strength of nuclear frontline communities who are continuing to fight for dignity and respect must be upheld by these remembered stories towards justice.

27] – On Tues., March 16 at 2 PM, the discussion will be focused on verification as a critical component of arms control and disarmament activities that presents both political and technical challenges. Verification activities have been central to demonstrating commitment to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), with some State Parties currently working on abilities to verify the adherence and maintenance of nuclear disarmament in the future. However, questions remain over what verification mechanisms will be in place under the newly entered-into-force Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW). And although the New START agreement between the United States and Russia has recently been extended for five years, verification options for any future arms control agreements continue to require urgent attention. Check out https://rusi.org/event/verification-arms-control-and-disarmament. There are several speakers, including Zia Mian, Princeton University, and Pranay Vaddi, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
