Join The Explorers Club, on Monday, September 29th, for a screening and discussion surrounding the complex and interconnected migratory bird routes of the Atlantic Flyway.
Join us for a special screening of Flyway of Life by Explorers Club member Tomas Koeck this September. From the Cloud Forests of Costa Rica, to the subarctic tundra of northern Manitoba, Flyway of Life showcases how bird migrations connect all of these environments together along the Atlantic Flyway in more ways that one may assume. In association with the National Audubon Society and supported by Canon USA, the film aims to showcase interconnection throughout many of America’s environments. After the screening, we will have a Q & A with members from the production as well as representatives from the New York city Bird Alliance and stick around after the film and talks for a book signing for Tomas’s latest book: Flyway of Life: Love Letters to the Natural World.

Dustin Partridge
Dr. Dustin Partridge, director of conservation and science at NYC Bird Alliance, is a pioneering scientist in urban green space conservation research in North America. His work, focused on wildlife conservation in New York City, has driven cities to reconsider the ecological value of small green spaces. Dr. Partridge’s published research has reshaped the national conversation on the role of cities in conservation and led to significant policy changes in NYC. These include the passage of Local Laws 92 and 94, which mandate green roof and solar installations on new buildings, and the Green Roof Tax Abatement, which offers substantial financial incentives for green roof installations in high-need areas. An adjunct professor at Columbia University and a sought-after speaker in media and public forums, Dr. Partridge is a scientist whose approach to conservation is based in using science to drive solutions that benefit both wildlife and people.
