PSCTP Speaker Series, Event #1: Losing the Serengeti: The Looming Threat of Eviction Under the Guise of Conservation

November 17, 2021 @ 7:00PM — 8:00PM Pacific Time (US & Canada)

Registered guests will received the Zoom invitation by email.
Description:
Climate change, environmental destruction, and pandemics affect all of us. We know, however, that the poor and vulnerable bear a disproportionate burden of these issues. Conservation of precious environments and wildlife is a critical factor in overall global health, but it is important to recognize that achieving these goals can disrupt and displace the indigenous people who have lived in these areas for centuries. The nonprofit Oakland Institute is dedicated to addressing the complexities of economic development, preservation, and human rights in underserved populations around the world. Their activities are focused on giving a voice to the unheard. Please join us for this timely and important topic when we host the leadership of The Oakland Institute for our first Distinguished Speaker Series event.
