Endangered species defender to speak at Monday's Democratic tele-luncheon
Featured speaker at Monday's virtual Democratic luncheon will be Patrick Donnelly, Nevada State Director of the Center for Biological Diversity. Among other things he will touch on the hydrology and endangered species of the Amargosa Basin and explain why Yucca Mountain is a terrible place to store high-level nuclear waste.
He will also provide updates on the fight to save the endangered Mount Charleston blue butterfly, along with Tiehm’s buckwheat in the Silver Peak Range, the transplanted Pahrump poolfish, and the Moapa dace. He also has some good news about a population of Lahontan cutthroat trout in northern Humboldt County's Summit Lake.
In 2014, Patrick Donnelly earned a Bachelor of Science degree from UC Berkeley in Conservation & Resource Studies. Between 2014 and 2016 he served as Executive Director of the Amargosa Conservancy, and he joined the Center for Biological Diversity as its Executive Director in March of 2017.
Sponsored by the Democratic Men's Committee, this event is scheduled for noon on Monday, January 11th, and will be held online via Zoom teleconference due to the restricted availability of in-person venues.
