Biodiversity in Our Urban Spaces

Join Manny's and the Cal Academy of Sciences for an exciting conversation on green spaces, biodiversity, and climate in our cities!

Do you ever find yourself reading or talking about the worldwide climate crisis - coral reef devastation, melting glaciers, catastrophic weather - and wondering “But what can I do?” For those of us who live in urban environments, climate change may sometimes feel like a concept far removed from our daily lives. And yet, the biodiversity and nature right under our noses - and integrated into our cities - are an essential piece of a healthy planet, and a critical baseline for understanding the global climate crisis.

Join some of the Bay Area’s leading scientists, researchers, and educators for an engaging discussion about urban biodiversity that highlights just how interconnected humans, plants, and animals are even in (especially in) urban spaces. Plus, learn how to channel your love of nature into action by participating in City Nature Challenge, an annual international bioblitz that mobilizes people to document urban biodiversity, April 26-29.
