SUMMARY:Doug Tallamy: Nature's Best Hope
DESCRIPTION:UB’s Department of Environment and Sustainability welcomes Dr. Doug Tallamy for the Orin Foster Distinguished Lecture on November 14! \nRecent headlines about global insect declines\, the impending extinction of one million species worldwide\, and three billion fewer birds in North America are a bleak reality check about how ineffective our current landscape designs have been at sustaining the plants and animals that sustain us.  Such losses are not an option if we wish to continue our current standard of living on Planet Earth. The good news is that none of this is inevitable. Tallamy will discuss simple steps that each of us can- and must- take to reverse declining biodiversity on our own properties and will explain why we\, ourselves\, are nature’s best hope. \nLimited tickets available. Learn more and get your free tickets here. \nCan’t make it in person? Watch on ZOOM

SUMMARY:Harnessing AI for Invasive Species Detection
DESCRIPTION:Join NAISMA for a dynamic webinar\, Harnessing AI for Invasive Species Detection : Smart Traps\, Drones\, and Machine Learning in Action. This will showcase how artificial intelligence is transforming invasive species detection and monitoring across ecosystems. Through innovative applications like smart traps\, drones\, and machine learning\, researchers and practitioners are unlocking new tools to manage biological invasions more effectively and efficiently. \nDr. Melissa Miller from the University of Florida will present her work on developing AI-powered smart traps designed to detect and remove invasive tegu lizards—large\, fast-moving reptiles that threaten native wildlife and agriculture in the southeastern U.S. Dr. Thomas O’Shea-Wheller from the University of Exeter will share his team’s research on using deep learning models to detect invasive hornets in real time\, offering critical insights for rapid response and containment. Representing Ducks Unlimited Canada\, Matthew Bolding and Mallory Carpenter will discuss their efforts to integrate drone technology and AI to monitor populations of European water chestnut\, a fast-spreading aquatic invasive plant impacting wetland biodiversity and water quality. \nThis webinar will highlight how emerging technologies are being adapted and applied to meet the challenges of invasive species detection in the field—providing a glimpse into the future of smart conservation. \nRegister here.
