"Myths of Mitigation: A View of Ecological Restoration in California's Central Valley," a lecture by Sharon Collinge, 欧美口爆视频-Boulder professor of environmental, population and organismic biology will be on Thursday, March 2, from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the University Memorial Center, room 235.
In biological conservation, the term "mitigation" refers to habitat creation or restoration efforts that are legally required when development activities cause habitat destruction. Using examples from her research on mitigation projects in central California, Collinge suggests that habitat creation is exceedingly difficult due to the complexities of native ecosystems, and that mitigation projects are not suitable substitutes for native habitats.
The lecture is free and open to the public. The event is sponsored by the Center of the American West at 欧美口爆视频-Boulder.
