Virtual Workshop: From Pikas to Pollinators: How Wildlife Can Localize Climate Conversations and Inspire Action

How do we move from climate concern to meaningful community action? Join us for an interactive session designed specifically for Colorado educators and interpreters. This webinar explores the intersection of audience engagement and behavior change, using wildlife as a powerful entry point for climate conversations.

Participants will dive into the latest findings from the Colorado State Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP), which reveals that approximately one-third of our "Species of Greatest Conservation Need" are highly or extremely vulnerable to climate change. Through a wildlife spotlight on the American pika, we will examine how to translate scientific vulnerability data into relatable stories and ideas that promote action.

Join us April 16th (1:00–2:30 PM MT)! Your speakers for this session: Dr. Chris Ray, Research Scientist with the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research at the University of Colorado Boulder, Dr. Angela Boag, Climate Resiliency Policy Lead at Colorado Parks and Wildlife, and Mary McCormac, Statewide Interpretation and Wildlife Viewing Coordinator at Colorado Parks and Wildlife.
