Coffee and Conservation: Behavior Change is Essential to Save Species
Saturday, March 7, 9:00-10:00am
Location: Rhino Savanna Conservation Station
Enjoy your morning coffee with The Living Desert’s Vice President of Conservation, Dr. James Danoff-Burg, as he shares conservation stories from his fieldwork in Zimbabwe, Botswana, Southern California, and Mongolia. Learn how the Zoo’s work with rhino, cheetah, desert tortoises, and argali sheep demonstrates the critical role community engagement and behavior change play in making wildlife coexistence possible — and how partnering with local communities leads to lasting conservation outcomes.
You’ll also learn how The Living Desert has partnered with the International Union for Conservation of Nature to launch a Center for Behavior Change, making the Zoo a global resource for conservation leaders working to save species by working with people.
Come for the coffee, leave inspired by conservation in action.
“As I’ve said many times, species are quickly declining and their habitats are rapidly worsening, but not because they have forgotten how to eat, breed, and make a living! Species are in decline because of our activities as humans… Our impact is massive and global, and we are all contributing. And, we can all do better to engage people to help us save species and restore habitats.
People are the root cause of conservation problems. However, people can also be the solution.” — Dr. James Danoff-Burg
