What is Cornell doing to better understand — and protect — the diversity of life on our planet?
Come find out at Biodiversity Fest on Thursday, September 24, from 11:00am–2:00pm in the Mann Library lobby. Stop by anytime to meet Cornell programs and groups working on biodiversity, conservation, sustainability, and the health of ecosystems around the world and closer to home.
Visitors can explore the research, education, and other initiatives happening across Cornell, talk with members of the campus community about their work, and discover opportunities to learn more and get involved. Bring your curiosity and your questions!
Biodiversity Fest is part of Mann Library’s From the Brink exhibit program, which explores biodiversity loss, extinction, conservation, and the actions that can help protect species and habitats. While you’re here, take some time to explore the biodiversity-focused exhibits currently on view throughout Mann.
