In many ways, our work has never been more important. This pandemic started with transmission of COVID-19 from the illicit wildlife trade. More people are turning to nature for solace and exercise, while noticing the benefits of cleaner air and water. And teachers and parents are increasingly turning to our Eco-Schools curricula and award-winning Ranger Rick content to assist with virtual learning.
I invite you to join me for a COVID-19 Wildlife and Economic Recovery Town Hall on Facebook Live this coming Wednesday, May 6, 2020 at 2pm ET. I plan to share details about impacts COVID-19 is having on wildlife and our conservation work, as well as our vision for an economic recovery that restores natural resources. I’ll also answer your questions.
