Engage in meaningful conversations and advocacy efforts to protect our mountains.
On November 2, join Y2Y at the UCalgary Wildlife Conservation club to experience the awe-inspiring journeys of wildlife in some of the world’s most dramatic mountain ranges. From the rugged Rockies to the towering peaks of the Himalayas, witness the remarkable adaptations and survival strategies of wildlife through the changing seasons, as captured in a breathtaking “Mountains” episode of Planet Earth II. Following the screening, we will hear from Y2Y’s Landscape Protection Manager, Adam Linnard.
This event is part of Moving Mountains , a one day confluence that offers programming on climate action and provides a forum to build relationships, learn new concepts, share experiences so that each of us will leave feeling encouraged to continue our climate action work to build our collective healthy and just futures.
Snacks and refreshments will be provided. Tickets are free, but RSVPs are required.
About the Presenter:
Adam Linnard is Y2Y’s Landscape Protection Manager in his hometown of Canmore, on Treaty 7 territory. He guides campaigns to protect key wildlife habitat and ensure that animals can move between and beyond those protected areas, focusing on headwaters regions, wildlife corridors, and highway crossings.
With a mixed background in environmental justice, literary ecocriticism, and international poverty relief, Adam combines these interests in working for sustainable, justice-oriented, thriving communities that make space for other-than-human beings as well. Adam likes to be outside, on foot, in inclement weather.
