Our Next Generation Wildlife EcoSeries highlights the achievements and amplifies the voices of early career wildlife biologists. This next generation of scientists is more diverse than the community of natural resource scientists as a whole. However, we recognize that systematic racism continues to impose barriers for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) seeking careers in natural resources. This speaker series will not only spotlight the professional achievements of BIPOC scientists who are role models for this next generation, it will also serve as a forum to discuss how our field can move forward to reduce barriers and become a more inclusive community. The Wildlife Department is committed to challenging the status quo in the discipline and propelling a more diverse next generation of wildlife biologists.

All talks are open to the general public. See attached flyers for information on upcoming talks.
