BirdLife South Africa is a firm believer that
conservation needs to start with conversation.
This Tuesday, 3 November at 19:00 (SAST), BirdLife South Africa's weekly webinar series
‘Conservation Conversations with BirdLife South Africa’
hosts the delightful Prof. Anusuya Chinsamy-Turan from the University of Cape Town.
Prof. Anusuya will be unravelling the Biology of Fossil Birds whose history extends to about 150 million years ago. For the next 85 million years early birds co-existed with dinosaurs and pterosaurs. The End of the Cretaceous Mass Extinction event brought an end to the reign of the dinosaurs on land and pterosaurs in the skies. Fortunately some birds survived. Prof. Anusuya will highlight some of the diversity of extinct birds and give some insight into how information about their biology and life history can be deciphered from their fossilised remains.
This is a talk not to be missed!
