On Thursday, January 18, 7:00pm (ET), join Lucas Savoy of the Biodiversity Research Institute as he discusses loon conservation and research. Lucas is a wildlife biologist with BRI, a Maine-based conservation organization, and has been involved with collaborative loon projects throughout North America and beyond for the past 25 years.

Lucas was drawn to loons as a young boy, sharing the lakes with loons in northern Maine on annual family fishing trips. In his professional career, he has studied loons for over two decades and these birds have guided Lucas throughout the boreal forest regions of the United States, Canada and as far as arctic Russia. Many summers of sleepless nights and countless hours on the water have contributed to many loon projects focused on assessing emerging threats to loons, such as environmental contamination, disease, oil spills, and climate change. Other studies utilize technology and field data to map the migration routes of loons from their breeding lakes to their oceanic wintering areas. Decades of loon field studies across North America has enabled us to learn a great deal about loon natural history and how to focus project efforts and goals for loon conservation.
