Western Maine Audubon webinar on nature’s predators is March 10

FARMINGTON — Western Maine Audubon is hosting a free online webinar presented by the Chewonki Foundation, “Predators: The Balance of Nature,” at at 7 p.m.Wednesday, March 10.
Scary, disgusting, wicked, vicious — nature’s predators have a rough reputation. This free webinar explores commonly held myths about predators and then works to dispel them. Highlighting the remarkable adaptations that help predators find and consume their prey, the presentation will engage participants with a vivid slideshow and lively discussion. Chewonki’s presenter will use the lens of food webs and natural cycles to explore problems faced by predators in our world, including examples of their decline throughout history due to habitat loss and human interference. A discussion of current events will emphasize the importance of predators in maintaining the world’s ecological balance.
