Speaker - Mitch Tobin, author of Endangered: Biodiversity on the Brink
Thursday, February 10 12:30pm to 1:30pm
Pacific Room at Tides, Thoreau Center for Sustainability San Francisco
For 15 years, Mitch Tobin has been exploring and writing about the American West and its rapidly changing environment. As a reporter, he won numerous awards for his science writing, explanatory journalism, and breaking news coverage. As a consultant, he has helped some of the nation's leading conservation groups and foundations improve their effectiveness. Mitch's first book, Endangered, examines the human activity that has put so many species at risk of extinction and advocates for policies that will protect biodiversity in a warming world. Using firsthand accounts, he reports from the front lines of Endangered Species Act battles, using America's hottest, driest, fastest-growing region - the Southwest - as a snapshot of the complex and myriad issues confronting imperiled species and US environmental policy.
