Rhinos, penguins, and people with Dr. Alanna Lecher
Rhinos, Penguins, and People: Case studies of environmental management from the U.S.A to South Africa
There is much debate about what is the best method to maintain a healthy environment both on local and global scales. In this presentation, Dr. Alanna Lecher will explain the three most common methods of environmental management: preservation, conservation, and sustainability. She will present examples of each method employed in the United States and South Africa. Furthermore, Dr. Lecher will address inherent challenges and critiques of each method, with an emphasis on the effects of each method on native peoples. This talk is inspired by Dr. Lecher’s recent Faculty Development trip to Cape Town, South Africa, made possible by the Center for Learning Abroad and Academic Affairs.
Lunch will be provided!
