ANS Conservation Cafe:
Bird Conservation is Actually All About Humans
Wednesday, June 1 • 7 – 8:30 pm
You are invited to join us Wednesday, June 1st, 7pm – 8:30pm (ET) for a discussion with Tykee James, Co-Found of Amplify the Future and current President of DC Audubon, for this talk during Black Birders Week.
Bird conservation: So much of what drives our ability to conserve birds and other wildlife is really about managing our own human behaviors, which requires us to look inside – what motivates us? What do we really want on our landscapes? How much do we need, and who gets to decide?
Join us virtually ($10-$15) for this discussion!

Meet Tykee James
Tykee James is the Government Affairs Coordinator for the National Audubon Society, and sits on the board of directors of the D.C. Audubon Society (where he now serves as President), Wyncote Audubon Society, Audubon Maryland-DC, the Birding Co-op, and the Academy of Natural Sciences.
After moving to DC, he has grounded himself in his special role: organizing bird walks with members of Congress and congressional staff! James has built residency in this work from his experience in Philadelphia, his hometown. His first job was an environmental educator and community organizer in his own neighborhood. He also served as an environmental policy advisor to a state representative. James develops himself as a leader through his fellowship with the Environmental Leadership Program and membership with the Green Leadership Trust. In his personal time, he is the audio producer for Wildlife Observer Network, a wildlife media project he started with some wildlife-friendly friends in Philly.
