Nature Hour: Sustaining Humans and Nature Together

Lancaster Conservancy

Join us for this hopeful virtual presentation on creating health for nature and humans!

Nature Hour

This virtual lecture series, presented by Lancaster Conservancy throughout the winter, covers a wide range of conservation, environmental, and nature-related topics impacting our community, region, and world for learners of all age!

<h3>About the Presentation</h3><p>How do we reignite the positive synergy between nature and humanity in a world where we so often hear how human action is having an irrevocable impact on the planet? This presentation will discuss how biodiversity continues to sustain our planet and all who inhabit it, from the farthest reaches of wilderness to our own backyards in the built urban environment. By understanding and acting as better stewards of our relationships with species, we can and will build a better planet that supports both humans and nature coexisting together.</p><p><br></p><h3>About The Presenter</h3><p><strong><strong>Dr. Oswald Schmitz </strong></strong>is the Oastler Professor of Population and Community Ecology, in the Yale University School of the Environment. His research aims to make sense of nature’s complexity that comes from interdependencies among the variety of carnivore, herbivore, and plant species that coexist within ecosystems. These insights help to inform environmental stewardship to enhance the conservation of wildlife species and ensure the sustainability of ecosystems, their functions, and the services that they provide to humankind. At Yale, he teaches courses on the role of humans in nature and how humans can develop the means to coexist harmoniously with nature. His book “The New Ecology: Rethinking a Science for the Anthropocene” encapsulates much of his thinking about species and ecosystems, making ecological science accessible to a broader readership.</p><p><br></p><h3>About Nature Hour</h3><p>Nature Hour is a lecture series presented by Lancaster Conservancy, taking place throughout the winter.
