*Conserving the threatened seabird community of the Juan Fernandez Islands,
Chile*
Guest speaker: Peter Hodum

The Juan Fernandez Islands are a remote oceanic archipelago located about
400 miles off the central coast of Chile. The islands are globally
recognized for their unique biodiversity, having been designated a UNESCO
International Biosphere Reserve and a Chilean National Park. Included in
the rich biodiversity of the islands is a seabird community comprised of 6
breeding species, 4 of which are endemic to Chile, including 2 endemic to a
single island, Isla Alejandro Selkirk. All four of the species endemic to
Chile are also listed globally as Vulnerable. In this talk, Peter will
share an overview of the islands and the long-term conservation efforts
that he and his colleagues have taken alongside the local community to
improve the conservation status of these globally threatened seabirds.

Dr. Hodum is a professor in the Biology Department and the Environmental
Policy and Decision-Making Program at the University of Puget Sound in
Tacoma, Washington and the Chile Program Director for Oikonos Ecosystem
Knowledge, a conservation nonprofit organization. His research focuses
primarily on the conservation and ecology of threatened seabirds and island
ecosystems in Chile and Washington State. His work also has a strong focus
on community-based conservation, including how communities can be more
effectively and authentically involved in conservation.
