- **Event Description**: Join us to explore where biodiversity lives in New York City, how we can rewild urban landscapes and who shapes the future of nature in NYC.About this EventBiodiversity is often undervalued in New York City, a reality reflected in budgets and priorities. Join us for a conversation about improving outcomes for nature and people, which means ensuring that scientific knowledge, community experience, and equity guide decisions and investments.New York’s nature is both globally significant and locally fragile. Wild plants and animals across the five boroughs support public health and climate resilience, even as they face increasing pressures from development, fragmentation, and climate change. Communities play an important role in stewarding and reimagining public land, while legal protections for local species remain uneven.This event will bring together scientists, community leaders, and policymakers in panel discussions to explore where biodiversity lives in New York City, how we can rewild urban landscapes and who shapes the future of nature in the city. Together, we’ll consider what it would look like to elevate ecology as a core part of civic life rather than an afterthought.SpeakersBrett Branco, Science and Resilience Institute at Jamaica BayAurelia Casey, Youth Programs Senior Manager, Gowanus Canal Conservancy; PhD student, in Urban Education at the CUNY Graduate CenterAdan Guzman, MA student at Hunter College; formerly El PuenteSara Evans, Director of Living Collections and Curator, Green-Wood CemeteryNovem Auyeung, Director of Research and Monitoring, NYC ParksJessica Kaplan, Director of Horticulture, Riverside Park ConservancyKelly Vilar, CEO, Staten Island Urban CenterFood will be provided at this event!
