Conservation Biology: Looking forward with an eye on the rearview mirror

Conservation Biology emerged as a professional discipline in 1985, the year Trombulak arrived at Middlebury College as a new assistant professor. Since that time, the topic has anchored one of the consistently largest foci within the ES major, while at the same time the discipline has consistently grown and evolved. In a free-ranging conversation, Beaudrot and Trombulak explore this history through the lens of their personal experience and practice.
