Recent studies have highlighted declining abundance and diversity of insects. Threats including habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change are all contributing to declines in insects such as pollinators. We will talk about how climate change may affect pollinators and actions we can take to help increase climate resilience of pollinators in California.
Angela Law is the Endangered Species Conservation Biologist and Climate Change Lead, for the Xerces Society. Based in Sacramento, Angela is working on habitat restoration for pollinators and monarch butterflies in the Central Valley. Her role at The Xerces Society also involves incorporating climate resiliency into pollinator restoration projects. Angela has over 20 years of experience studying arthropods in grassland habitats, including studies of how climate change can affect species interactions. She received a M.S. in Ecology from Utah State University, and a Ph.D. in Biology from the University of Notre Dame.
