Autumn will discuss the program’s evolution since COP-15, where 14 municipalities were recognized as Bird Friendly Certified and how municipal professionals and community nature stewards can collaborate together to achieve conservation goals.

They are passionate about advancing bird conservation through on-the-ground conservation education and community building.
