In our age of biodiversity crisis, many wild species will not survive without acts of human care. What should that care look like? Can wild nature be designed? Which environmental harms are truly irreversible, and how can ecological restoration be made socially just? The Harvard University Center for the Environment and Williams College invite you for a panel discussion exploring these questions while reflecting on the recently released book Wild by Design: The Rise of Ecological Restoration by former HUCE Environmental Fellow Laura Martin.
