"..." not working for me. I can open the links but I cannot copy the text and the link. Not a major problem but it would be easier if I could copy and paste

Sorry about that, Ron! A chat log will be emailed to you following the event.

Greetings. I'm writing about disappearing grasslands in Minnesota, and the many impacts of that loss on wildlife, water quality and carbon sequestration. Two questions: What would you say would be the single most effective/important tool for changing this ongoing conversion. And what's the argument to make my general reader care about the frightening decline in grassland birds such as the Leconte’s Sparrow, Greater Prairie Chicken, Meadowlark and Marbled Godwits.

Hi, Jennifer! Please add your questions to the Q&A feature below the speaker video. Thanks!

SEJ Webinar recording: Food and Farming in a Warming World - https://www.sej.org/calendar/sej-webinar-food-and-farming-warming-world

Hi Jennifer, not sure if I have the answer to either of your questions, but I wrote a story on this topic recently - perhaps you’ll find some inspiration there. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/article/a-farming-boom-is-threatening-us-climate-and-conservation-goals

Thanks for addressing the food issue.

Thank you, Ron!

Thank you Gabriel.

Check out USAID STOP Spillover (www.stopspillover.org), a new One Health project focused on mitigating the risk of spillover of zoonotic viruses (focus on avian influenza, coronoviruses, Ebola/Marburg, Lassa Fever, Nipah) from animals to people. We're looking at the whole spillover ecosystem (ecology, epidemiology (health, wildlife), social and behavior change, gender, food/ag, economics, policy, et al.) Internews and the Earth Journalism Network are important partners in this consortium. I need to drop off but thanks for great presentations and resources!

thanks Sharon and all the panelist.
