Returned from her travels and researches for the journal Nature and her book Rambunctious Garden, acclaimed science journalist Emma Marris enlivens environmentalism and conservation movements with a challenge: Stop aiming to save a fictional pristine wilderness.
Aim instead to save the wondrous relationships we do have with the natural world.
This optimistic talk introduces you to leading scientists and environmentalists, imaginary Edens, designer ecosystems, and Pleistocene parks. Marris also describes innovative conservation approaches, including rewilding, assisted migration, and the embrace of novel-ecosystems. All are invited to this free event, sponsored by the various offices listed below.
When: Friday, February 10 at 3 p.m.
Where: Room MB-2.210, John Molson School of Business Building (1450 Guy St.), Sir George Williams Campus
