Reg. Charity No. 1168330
Join us for an afternoon of talks on the impact of climate change on reptiles, both living and extinct.
Speakers from the UK and USA will be talking about how changing climates affect reptile diversity and distribution and how understanding their past responses to climate change might help us find effective conservation strategies in the future. Speakers include Dr Annette Broderick (University of Exeter), Prof. Patricia Holroyd (University of California, Berkeley) and Dr Richard Pearson (UCL).
The meeting is free to attend, but registration is essential (including for NHM staff). Registration here:
The meeting should appeal to anyone with an interest in reptile evolution and conservation and is open to the public as well as academics, conservation professionals and students. It will showcase the results from a recent NERC-funded project on turtle diversity and climate that is based in the NHM.
Tea and coffee will be provided and there will be ample opportunties for discussion.
When: Wednesday, 22 June 2016 from 13:30 to 17:30 (BST)
