Grant Sizemore, Director of Invasive Species Programs at American Bird Conservancy, will talk about how to manage domestic cats to benefit everyone (people, birds, cats, and other wildlife).
Domestic cats can make wonderful pets but also have the capacity to kill birds and other wildlife, spread infectious diseases, and cause nuisances in the community. Predation by cats is the number one cause of wild bird deaths in the country.
Effective cat management is often complicated by the species’ close affiliation with people and unique legal status. Grant will focus on the conservation and public health science underpinning the need to manage domestic cats and identify opportunities for organizations and individuals to advance science-based solutions.
Grant has earned degrees in Zoology and Environmental Science from Miami University in Ohio and an M.S. in Wildlife Ecology and Conservation from the University of Florida. He has worked in wildlife conservation policy, education, and research for over 17 years and is a Certified Wildlife Biologist.
