Intertidal Zones - Ecology, Threats, and Conservation of Coastal Wetlands

Join this engaging talk from the Linnean Society where naturalist and author Yuvan explores India's vast and varied intertidal zones. Discover the ecological, climatic, and political drama that unfolds in these coastal regions through stories from the field and excerpts from Yuvan's book 'Intertidal.' Learn about these species-rich ecosystems as precious landscapes threatened by human activities, powerful metaphors, and as practices of attention for observing life. Yuvan, a writer, educator, naturalist, and activist based in Chennai, India, writes at the intersection of ecology, education, and human consciousness and is the recipient of the M Krishnan Memorial Nature Writing Award. The one-hour talk is presented by the Linnean Society, an organization founded in 1788 that works to inform, involve, and inspire people of all ages about nature and its wider interactions through collections, programs, and publications.
