Public Lecture: The Ragged Edge of the World with Eugene Linden



Veteran contributor to the National Geographic, Time, and the New York Times, Eugene Linden will be unearthing slippery and fast- changing frontiers in his lecture “The Ragged Edge of the World.” This will serve as an elegy for what has been lost, as well as a celebration of cultures resilient enough to maintain their individuality, traditions and customs. Linden’s intimate, eyewitness accounts of cargo cults in New Guinea, practices Pygmy tribes in the forests of Africa, and the positive conservation policies in Cuba, are fascinating tales of environmental, political, social, and cultural transformation.

Public Lecture: Achieving Harmony in Ecosystems with Colin Church


       Kenyan citizen and Rhino Ark Conservation chairman, Colin Church, will discuss one of the key biodiversity areas and essential water towers in the Abderdare Mountains. This project entailed the building of a 260 mile long electrified fence (1,260 sq. miles) that successfully resolved human/wildlife conflict in the Abderdares, while limiting further encroachment into the forest state. This has also been instrumental in shifting public sentiment in favor of conserving Kenya’s vital mountain forests.
