Audience Question & Answer23:43
This symposium, a presentation of the Harvard Museum of Natural History, is a scientific discussion of how environments are changing and why species are being lost. Presentations discuss the root causes, including climate and land use change, and their impact on species' habitats. What are the ramifications for human society? Why should people care? If it is inevitable that species must be sacrificed to development, how does humanity prioritize which ones are saved? This symposium occurred on Friday, November 12, 2004, at the Harvard University Science Center.
