Biodiversity Working Group Meeting - November 5
A fragmented relationship between nature and people is one of the underlying causes of biodiversity loss. In our working group meeting in June, we explored existing efforts to connect rather than dominate over nature, including understanding urban wildlife dynamics, designing finance strategies for nature-based solutions, and enhancing legal protection for biodiversity through multilateral agreements.
We invite you to join us for a November meeting of our working group, where we aim to spark interdisciplinary collaborations. We will feature presentations from three Penn experts, delivered in a series of lightning talks, followed by an informal discussion to identify areas of collaboration and potential funding opportunities.
