North America’s bird populations have declined by approximately 3 billion birds since 1970 and two-thirds of North America’s bird species now face an even greater risk of extinction due to climate change. Mike Lynes will discuss the threats California birds face from climate change and how Audubon California is working with chapters, allies, and decision-makers to implement climate-smart, nature-based policies like California’s “30 by 30” initiative aimed at expanding open spaces to meet climate goals and benefit human communities.

About Our Speaker:
Mike Lynes is Director of Public Policy for Audubon California and formerly served as Executive Director of Golden Gate Audubon Society.
