The State of Biodiversity 2022 Symposium

Conversations and convening around regional biodiversity.

Thinking about the state of our region’s biodiversity can leave a person feeling pretty grim. But with climate change and the environment back on the national agenda, we planned this year’s State of Biodiversity Symposium with a renewed optimism. We explored not only the challenges but the stories that make us hopeful around the topics of binational biodiversity, pandemic-era science, and statewide conservation efforts.

This annual Symposium brings together conservationists, land managers, scientists, and natural history nerds for in-depth conversations about our current ecological condition and what’s to come.

Previously a full-day event held at the Museum, the 2021 “deconstructed symposium” featured morning talks that took place on Zoom across four Thursdays in April. Sessions took place from 9 to 10:30 AM and were followed by a 30-minute discussion and networking opportunity. Sessions were free, but participants had the opportunity to make a donation to support the Museum’s research and conservation efforts.

El idioma oficial de la reunión será el inglés. Habrá interpretación simultánea español.
