A Future for Nature: Remaking Conservation for a Chaotic World

Apr 2026
14

7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Room 100, Hotchkiss Hall

Join us for a discussion with South African author and conservationist Mr. Adam Welz

Climate change is making the traditional aims of nature conservation impossible to achieve. There are also far too few people actively working to save species, especially in less-developed countries.  Mr. Welz will discuss the impacts of climate change on wild species, how conservation is being plunged into crisis, and why we must urgently redefine and open-source conservation around the world so millions of amateurs can fight extinction where they live.
