SUMMARY:Biodiversity Conservation Talking Circles – FLYERS
DESCRIPTION:As part of our ongoing commitment to a collaborative\, community-rooted approach to conservation\, we will be hosting ‘Knowledge Circles’ about Species and Spaces at Risk in The Land Between this upcoming March. These Knowledge Circles are a series of events that provide an opportunity to share knowledge about species and spaces at risk within the bioregion. \nThe Land Between bioregion is one of 15 Community Nominated Priority Places in Canada; recognized for its biodiversity and community capacity for cooperation. The region is one of the last intact wilderness landscapes in the southern half of the province\, and a refuge for ecosystem services and species at risk. Here\, 59 extant species at risk and many disappearing common species rely on the bioregion’s natural capital to survive…. \nIf you have been involved in studies or observations\, conservation efforts or nature experiences\, your voice\, perspectives\, and knowledge is invaluable\, and we hope that you will share with a community of caring individuals and leaders. For those with knowledge and/or specific research relevant to these topics please let us know in the registration form that you are willing to share these. \n  \nCurrent Highlights at the Flyers Circles (will be updated weekly): \n\nThe Land Between: Research on moth productivity in residential areas\nMichelle DiLeo\, Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry: Planned research on butterflies\nRichard Feldman\, Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry: Eastern Whippoorwill and moth prey base in the Carden Alvar\nHazel Wheeler\, Wildlife Preservation Canada: Head-starting Yellow-banded bumblebees\, and recovery program for Loggerhead shrike\nCarly Davenport\, Bird Friendly Selwyn: Experience with American Kestrels\nVal Deziel\, Forests Ontario: Grassland birds\nLauren Loretto\, Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority: Urban bats\nTaylor Kerekes\, Wildlife Preservation Canada: Bumble bee recovery program\nKayla Vizza\, Cambium Inc.: Range and distribution of native bee species\nVicky Papuga\, Canadian Wildlife Federation: Pollinator meadow habitat\nZachary Steele\, Kawartha Bird Control: Bird window collision mitigation\nDerek Morningstar\, Myotistar: Collaborative research on bat species at risk\nKarl Heide\, Birds Canada: Research on Wood thrush\nAleksandra Dolezal\, Rare Charitable Research Reserve: Long term butterfly monitoring\, in partnership with PollardBase\nCass Stabler\, Trent Severn Waterway\, Parks Canada\, Multi-species Action Plan for Ontario Waterways (Trent and Rideau)\n\n  \nREGISTRATION (ONLINE OR IN-PERSON):\nThese are half day hybrid events beginning at 1pm. For in-person attendees\, snacks will be served at the onset and during an afternoon break. Support is available for in-person attendance and presenters\, including honorariums. \nTo register\, follow this link\n  \n  \nIt is hoped that These Knowledge Circles will support Two-Eyed seeing: embracing and integrating the essential ways of Traditional Knowledge and science for a comprehensive understanding to emerge. \nOur goals for these Circle sessions are to learn from one another\, enrich and advance our collective efforts\, and to identify knowledge gaps and strategies. Importantly\, our hope is also to cultivate new relationships and perspectives that will support our common calling to care for and conserve Nature. \nWe hope to hear from you\, and we would also like to ask that you extend this invitation to other knowledge holders\, including Indigenous Knowledge Holders\, researchers and scientists\, hunters and farmers\, academics\, conservation leaders or naturalists. We appreciate all contributions to this conversation\, so feel free to pass this invitation on to others in your circle. \nTo note\, the proceedings of these gatherings will also support the completion of our collaborative comprehensive regional conservation strategy. We also welcome you to review and provide comments at this time. \nFor more information about the series topics\, visit the project website\, or contact our Species Recovery Coordinator here.
