We alter, degrade, and occasionally restore the environment. We shape landscapes, and as they evolve, they provide new opportunities and constraints for future generations. This lecture series focuses on the environmental challenges we face, and the surprising, hopeful array of sustainable solutions being pursued worldwide. We will explore how conservation science informs restoration and even rewilding on an increasingly human-dominated planet.

Series Information: Tuesdays, April 22-May 6, 1:00-2:45 p.m., O'Shaughnessy Educational Center Auditorium, UST St. Paul Campus, with a live Zoom simulcast also available. (No recordings are made or available; this is available as a live event, only.)

Series Instructor: Dr. Paul Lorah is a geographer in the Department of Earth, Environment and Society. He studies conservation science and is interested in how people interact with nature to form cultural landscapes. His students have given more than 100 conference presentations on conservation geography and sustainable development. He has served on the Board of Trustees for the Minnesota chapter of the Nature Conservancy and consulted for the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Alliance and the Great Plains Restoration Council.
