Thomas Lovejoy, University professor at
Thomas Lovejoy, University professor at George Mason and senior fellow at the United Nations Foundation, delivers the second of three lectures on the importance of values and their potential application to solving environmental challenges.
Professor Lovejoy tells the story of how science eventually tumbled into recognition of the conservation importance of habitat fragmentation. He explores how natural connections can be restored in landscapes. And turns to questions of values: “Can we advance from thinking of nature as small patches isolated in human-dominated landscapes to an outlook where human aspiration is imbedded in nature? Can we adequately feed additional billions of people without obliterating most of wild nature? What is the role of human settlements?’
