CHN presents at the 2008 Society for Conservation Biology Meeting

July 17th, 2008

The 22nd annual meeting of the Society for Conservation Biology was held July 13-17 in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Curt Meine, CHN’s Director for Conservation Biology and History, delivered presentations in two featured symposia. The first symposium, “Biofuels and Biodiversity: An Assessment of Potential Effects on Species and Ecosystems,” drew heavily upon two CHN-sponsored meetings on biofuels and conservation held in 2006 and 2007. Meine’s presentation was entitled “Ecology, Ethics, Economics, and Ethanol: Putting Biofuels in a Conservation Context.” The second symposium, “The Politicization of Endangered Species Science,” was organized by the Union of Concern Scientists’ Office of Scientific Integrity. Meine’s talk was entitled “Conservation Science and Conservation Politics: Historical Perspectives on the Current Challenges to Scientific Integrity.”
