“Using the past to save the present: How do we incorporate historical baselines into conservation?”
In this talk, we explore how different environmental archives, from fossils to ancient Chinese historical documents, have provided crucial new perspectives on how to conserve some of the world’s rarest species, such as the Javan rhino, cao vit gibbon, and Samoan tooth-billed pigeon.
Samuel Turvey is Professor of Conservation Biology at the Institute of Zoology, Zoological Society of London. His work focuses on understanding how science can inform and guide practical conservation efforts for the world’s rarest mammals, birds, and amphibians.
