Join us for an evening with Noppadol Paothong, photographer for the Missouri Department of Conservation. Nop’s amazing photography has been featured in the Conservationist and Xplor Magazines, and many others including National Audubon, Ranger Rick, BBC, and the Nature Conservancy. He’ll be talking about his experiences photographing monarchs, sharing photos and technical information, and speaking to the importance of all pollinators. He’ll also talk about the development of habitat to benefit pollinators, much of what you can do even in your backyard. Monarchs are a well-known and loved creature in the pollinator world. Few animals inspire as much devotion and study as the monarch butterfly. Its 3,000 mile migration from Canada to Mexico and back to the Gulf Coast states in the spring has served as a symbol of beauty and mystery. Now, National Geographic says monarch populations are declining at an alarming rate, due to illegal logging in Mexico, wildfires, drought, and a drastic loss of their crucial milkweed habitat in the United States. |
