The Vanishing Worlds of Audubon

L.A. River expert and nature author Jenny Price, Debs Park Audubon Center director Marcos Trinidad, and USC Dornsife College biological and earth sciences professors Sarah Bottjer and David Bottjer will discuss the disappearance of birds around the world and what it can teach us about environmental justice here in Los Angeles—as well as address the troubled history of John James Audubon.

This event is part of a series held in conjunction with The Vanishing Worlds of Audubon, on display in Doheny Memorial Library’s Treasure Room through May 31, 2023, illuminating the works of artists and scientists who are addressing the challenges of avian extinction, habitat destruction, and the ever-growing threat of global climate change, along with items that highlight the complex history behind the illustrious artist, naturalist, and ornithologist.
