Nature Seminar Series. A future for nature: Quantitative perspectives on land & biodiversity under global change-Tom Harwood
Our understanding of nature is incomplete, and nowhere is this more evident than when faced with the challenge of maintaining a viable natural world under the dual pressures of land use and climate change. Differing values and ad hoc solutions risk an incoherent and piecemeal response, with nebulous consequences. We need clearly defined measures of […]
Nature Seminar Series. Connected Conservation, rethinking conservation for a telecoupled world – Rachel Carmenta
Rachel’s talk will introduce Connected Conservation: a dual-branched conservation model that calls for the conservation community to embrace novel actions to tackle distant wealth-related drivers of biodiversity decline, while enhancing site-level conservation to empower biodiversity stewards. She will give an overview of the diverse literatures that outline the need for this shift in conservation practice […]
