Monday, November 5th
Seminar: A Galaxy of Falcons 7:30-9pm at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology (Auditorium) 159 Sapsucker Woods rd Each autumn, more than a million Amur falcons congregate in India's remote northeast state of Nagaland, pausing on a 9,000-mile migration from Asia to southern Africa. Until 2012, no one in the outside world knew this great gathering existed–or that the local villagers were killing hundreds of thousands of the birds for food. What happened next was one of the most remarkable conservation success stories in recent years, but also poses thorny questions about what happens when a poor community does the right but difficult thing. Join author and researcher Scott Weidensaul as he discusses his 2017 expedition to Nagaland, and the future of this galaxy of falcons.
