David Lopez-Carr, University of California, Santa Barbara
John Williams, Post-Doctoral Fellow, University of California, Santa Barbara
Vik Mohan, Blue Ventures
Biologists have identified 35 areas, called biodiversity hotspots, which are especially rich in endemic species and particularly threatened by human activities. Can addressing population growth in these hotspots help conserve threatened species and improve community health?
John Williams will discuss his 2010 assessment of biodiversity hotspots with high population growth. David Lopez-Carr will focus on the increasing density of rural populations and negative impacts on forest reserves in priority conservation areas including the Sierra de Lacandon National Park. Using Madagascar as an example, Vik Mohan will dissect the integrated PHE approach of Blue Ventures, which combines reproductive health with conservation measures, meets the unique needs of communities in a remote area with high biodiversity.
If you are interested, but unable to attend the event, please tune into the live or archived webcast.
Location: Woodrow Wilson Center at the Ronald Reagan Building, 1300 Pennsylvania Ave., NW, Washington DC, USA ("Federal Triangle" stop on Blue/Orange Line), 5th floor conference room.
