Shorebirds and water in the arid west- Stan Senner

Across the arid Intermountain West, a network of landlocked saline lakes and associated freshwater wetlands provides habitat for millions of birds like Wilson’s Phalaropes and American Avocets during migration or breeding or wintering seasons. Intense use of water in the arid West coupled with a warming climate means that many saline lakes are in decline, which in turn has huge implications for western birdlife. Audubon’s Vice President for Bird Conservation, Stan Senner, will focus his talk on what is happening to saline lakes, the amazing birds that rely on them, and their connections to Montana. Western water issues are a priority for the National Audubon Society, and Stan will discuss the future of saline lakes in the West and what can be done to conserve them. Stan Senner is Vice President for Bird Conservation with the National Audubon Society. He has worked for Audubon for nearly 20 years, including 10 years as state director in Alaska. Stan represented The Wilderness Society in Alaska during passage of the Alaska Lands Act, worked on a committee staff in the U.S. House of Representatives, and coordinated the joint federal-state restoration and science programs following the Exxon Valdez oil spill. He has a M.S. degree in biology from the University of Alaska Fairbanks and wide experience in applying science to public policy and natural resources conservation. He and his wife now make their home in Missoula.
