In Resilience for All Species, the fourth event of our Climate and the City series, we will take the broadest possible perspective on who “counts” as a Chicagoan and consider the non-human residents of our region, many of whom boast much longer histories in this area than we do. The Field Museum’s Keller Science Action Center is working to deepen climate resilience for wildlife throughout Chicagoland. Join us for a conversation with Abigail Derby Lewis, Conservation Tools Program Director at Keller, about their work and ways that you can contribute or become involved.
Dr. Abigail Derby Lewis is a Senior Conservation Ecologist and Senior Program Manager for the Chicago Region at The Field Museum of Natural History.
Climate and the City is a multi-week series of TED-style conversations focusing on how Chicago is responding locally to the global climate crisis, despite relentless climate anxiety and despair. We look forward to introducing you to local thinkers, activists, and policy-makers who go beyond offering grim forecasts and can help point us towards ideas that have the potential to make a difference, in Chicago and beyond. Recordings will be made available on the Chicago Studies website after each event.
