Event description: 
Thomas E. Lovejoy ’63 B.A., ’71 Ph.D., Senior Fellow at the United Nations Foundation and University Professor, George Mason University will deliver a series of three lectures. The lecture series title is “The World of the Born and the World of the Made: A New Vision of Our Emerald Planet.”
 
Science has eventually tumbled into considering the conservation importance of habitat fragmentation. Can we advance, however, 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?
