This seminar meeting will examine how human-built infrastructure is reshaping the life trajectories of nonhuman animals, and vice versa. Dams and reservoirs, industrialized agriculture, and the effects of ongoing climate change all demonstrate how the human transformation of nature is having profound effects on nonhuman survival. Speakers will focus in particular on the ways that migratory animals are navigating a transformed environment, and on how human actors — whether scientists, activists, or artists — track their movements and seek to help them adapt.
