SUMMARY:Zahner Lecture Series at Highlands Nature Center
DESCRIPTION:Healthy Land\, Healthy People: Centering Indigenous Voices in Conservation with Bonnie Claxton (Chickasaw) Deputy Director\, The Center for Native Health\nThe health of the land and the health of the people are deeply interconnected—a truth long understood by Indigenous communities. Yet\, conservation efforts often overlook Native voices\, traditional ecological knowledge\, and Indigenous-led solutions. This talk will explore the importance of Indigenous leadership in environmental stewardship and offer practical ways for non-Indigenous allies to support and uplift these efforts. Through insights from the Center for Native Health’s Land & Wellness Program\, we will discuss the role of land-based healing\, policy\, and community-driven solutions in restoring balance between people and place. \nSponsored by Diane Lennox & Paul Manos\, Janet & Scott Clarke\, Richard Yow\, and Liz Sargent. \nFor more information highlandsbiological.org or call 828-526-2623.

SUMMARY:Zahner Lecture Series | Bats in Your Backyard at Highlands Nature Center
DESCRIPTION:Featured Speaker: Rada Petric\, Assistant Research Professor and Director of the UNC IE Highlands Field Site\, UNC Institute for the Environment. \nUrbanization\, landscape modification and concomitant pollutants (sound\, light\, and chemical compounds) alter the natural landscape which in turn influences animal behavior\, biology\, and survival. Sound\, light and microplastics are emerging contaminants of interest. Due to the increased detection of these emerging contaminants\, most habitats have become threatened. Despite the documented record of their occurrence in literature\, there remains a great deal of mystery surrounding their occurrence’s ecological consequence. Her primary research interest is understanding how anthropogenic disturbances are altering community composition and reshaping ecosystems. Here\, we discuss several studies focused on understanding how bats and small mammals respond to human disturbances. \nFREE | No registration required \nSponsored by Mary Todd & Jimmy Davis\, Nancy & Lyle Nichols\, and Miriam & Vernon Skiles.
