SUMMARY:Crossings: How road ecology is shaping the future of our planet
DESCRIPTION:With Author Ben Goldfarb\nJoin us for an on-line program with Ben Goldfarb\, author of Crossings: How road ecology is shaping the future of our planet. Crossings was named one of the best books of 2023 by the New York Times and is a recipient of the Sierra Club’s Rachel Carson Award and the Banff Mountain Book Competition Grand Prize. \nSome 40 million miles of roadways encircle the earth\, yet we tend to regard them only as infrastructure for human convenience. While roads are so ubiquitous they’re practically invisible to us\, wild animals experience them as alien forces of death and disruption. More than a million animals are killed by cars each day in the U.S. alone; creatures from antelope to salmon are losing their ability to migrate in search of food and mates; and the very noise of traffic chases songbirds from vast swaths of habitat. \nToday road ecologists are seeking to blunt that destruction through innovative solutions. Conservationists are building bridges for California’s mountain lions and tunnels for English toads\, engineers are deconstructing the labyrinth of logging roads that web national forests\, and community organizers are working to undo the havoc highways have wreaked upon American cities. In this online talk\, Ben Goldfarb will discuss the ecological harms wrought by transportation and the movement to redress them — and how we can create a better\, safer world for all living beings. \nThis program is free\, thanks to member support. Please sign up using the form below. Once you submit your registration\, you’ll receive a confirmation email with a zoom link to join the program on January 29. \n\n \n\nBen Goldfarb is an environmental journalist whose work has appeared in National Geographic\, the Atlantic\, Smithsonian Magazine\, and many other publications. He is the author of Crossings: How road ecology is shaping the future of our planet\, named one of the best books of 2023 by the New York Times and recipient of the Sierra Club’s Rachel Carson Award and the Banff Mountain Book Competition Grand Prize. His previous book\, Eager: The Surprising\, Secret Life of Beavers and Why They Matter\, won the PEN/E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award. He lives in Colorado with his wife\, Elise\, and his dog\, Kit — which is\, of course\, what you call a baby beaver.
