City Nature Challenge
2020-04-29 00:00 - 23:59
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have made some modifications to the City Nature Challenge to help keep our organizers and participants safe. Firstly, this year’s CNC is no longer a competition. Instead, we want to embrace the healing power of nature and encourage the collaborative aspect of the CNC. This will allow people to safely document biodiversity in whatever way they can, even from the safety of their own homes if necessary. We urge all participants to carefully follow public health guidelines provided by your local governments, as they are changing in real-time. Individual safety and public health are our utmost priority. Please refer to our COVID-19 FAQ page for more information.

Elusive and Endangered – Maybe? Keeping Pace with the World’s Most Mysterious Big Cat, the Snow Leopard
2020-05-07 18:00 - 19:00
Elusive and Endangered – Maybe? Keeping Pace with the World’s Most Mysterious Big Cat, the Snow Leopard
Join us virtually Thurs., May 7 for a discussion with Charlotte Hacker, a noninvasive conservation biologist studying the genetics, diet and high altitude adaptation of the snow leopard in Central Asia. Despite snow leopards being charismatic and recognizable, numerous knowledge gaps in our understanding of the species persist. This is in large part due to the inherent difficulties in studying them – their amazing camouflage and shy nature are just the start. To close expansive knowledge gaps surrounding population numbers, behavior, and natural history, scientists are deploying a number of unique research strategies. During this virtual meeting, Charlotte will discuss how these methods are being used from the edges of the Tibetan Plateau all the way to right here in Pittsburgh and what it’s like to study the “ghost of the mountains.”
How to Attend
Join our Zoom Meeting at 6 p.m. to join in on the discussion. Please send an R.S.V.P. to biophilia@phipps.conservatory.org to recieve a link to the meeting.
