Bermuda’s conservation efforts began more than 400 years ago when legislation was passed to protect her sea turtles. Now, well into the 21st century, the Island’s conservation concerns have expanded to embrace so much more: water issues, solid waste disposal, sewage disposal, automobile issues, overfishing, and more.
Roche Science Public Forum Examines Conservation in Bermuda.
Bermuda’s conservation efforts began more than 400 years ago when legislation was passed to protect her sea turtles. Now, well into the 21st century, the Island’s conservation concerns have expanded to embrace so much more: water issues, solid waste disposal, sewage disposal, automobile issues, overfishing, and more.
A provocative presentation by Bermudian conservationist, Myles Darrell will take place on Wednesday, February 7 at 6:30 p.m., in the Athene Lecture Theatre (H100) as part of the Roche Science Week activities. The free public forum will focus on the preservation and protection of Bermuda’s native and endemic flora.
Mr. Darrell’s undergraduate studies focused on contextualised environmental science learning; he also holds a graduate diploma of teaching secondary science from Waikato University in New Zealand.
He was recently selected by The Bermudian Magazine, as a Bermudian of the Year (2023) for his tireless dedication to the local environmental community.
The public forum will also be livestreamed on the BC YouTube and FaceBook platforms.
