Description: Guest Speaker – Della Barbato, environmental public speaker and business owner of Earth Voice. Her presentations are designed to educate audiences about their local environment and natural resources and motivate them to help their environment in a variety of ways.

Topic: Wildlife, Biodiversity, Biomimicry: What Would Nature Do? Observing the magic of wildlife, from bees to bottlenose dolphins, is a privilege. All species on the planet have an important role in their ecosystem, and biodiversity boosts productivity. Habitat loss is the biggest threat to wildlife. Nature has 3.5 billion years of wisdom of design and efficiency. It shows us the value and strategy of diversity, resilience and adaptability. Bullet trains, windmill blades, Velcro and many other devices were all invented using nature as a model, called biomimicry.
