Creating Local Solutions to Biodiversity Loss
Creating Local Solutions to Biodiversity Loss
All local undertakings to build community resiliency must also include strategies to reverse the critical loss of biodiversity. In this talk, Peggy MacLeod will propose a vision of what could be achieved when organizations and citizens work together on local approaches to restore a biodiverse environment. Attendees will participate in a facilitated group process to spark a list of practical ideas of all sizes for implementation.
Peggy MacLeod retired in 2017 after 30 years of advocating for renewable energy and green building. She then co-founded the all-volunteer Western Mass Pollinator Networks (WMPN) to promote local solutions that help threatened pollinators rebuild their populations. A year ago WMPN transformed into the Massachusetts Pollinator Network as residents of many towns joined the effort to create pollinator pathways. After her recent participation in a biodiversity conference held in Ireland, Peggy wants to inspire others to develop local solutions to reversing biodiversity loss in our region.
