Chicago Regional Forum on Ethics and Sustainability on October 29th

Regional Cultures of Conservation, Chicago Regional Forum on Ethics and Sustainability

October 30th, 2010

The Center for Humans and Nature and the Chicago Botanic Garden co-sponsored the Chicago Regional Forum on Ethics and Sustainability, held on October 29 at the Chicago Botanic Garden.  Leaders from the Moral Ground Project and the Chicago Wilderness consortium gave voice to the ethical dimensions of four issues important to the Chicago region: (1) water, (2) place-based education, (3) the community values of ecological restoration, and (4) climate change.  The goal for this event was to create a vibrant, continuing forum on ethics and regional sustainability, addressing the conservation challenges and opportunities we face in the Midwest.
