Human Impact on Wildlife

Discover how human actions—both big and small—shape the world of wildlife. During this presentation, Bonnie will dive into key issues like habitat loss, bioaccumulation, and the spread of non-native species, shedding light on their impact at both local and global levels. You’ll also hear real-world examples and data from right here in New Mexico to help make sense of the challenges—and the steps we can take to reduce our footprint and protect the animals around us.

Admission: Free!
