Collecting Insights - Environmental Adaptation in Victoria
Channel: The Royal Society of Victoria
Date: 2021-08-12

When you visit the Museum or Zoo or Botanical gardens, it can be a fascinating and fun day out, yet many don't realise our public institutions are engine rooms of important environmental research. There is a diverse range of work happening behind the scenes to measure, understand, plan and adapt for the future of biodiversity in Victoria.  

On 22 August, 2021, you can join the Parliament of Victoria, the Royal Society of Victoria and the Victorian Parliamentarians for STEM to learn from the botanists, zoologists and collection managers leading this important work and find out some of the ways they are planning to help our plants and animals adapt to our state's warming, drying climate.

Livestreaming via Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/royalsocietyvictoria/live from 2pm AEST, featuring Professor Tim Entwisle (Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria), Dr Sally Sherwin (Zoos Victoria) and Dr Ken Walker (Museums Victoria). A part of Victoria's ACCLIMATISE program for National Science Week 2021, supported by the Inspiring Victoria initiative.
