A MOTHER'S DAY BENEFIT LECTURE FOR

 

TICKETS STILL AVAILABLE!

Widely considered the father of the modern environmental movement, scientist E. O. Wilson shares insights on the race to save Mother Earth’s dwindling biodiversity in a unique talk benefiting Canopy’s Bay Area urban forestry work. Named one of America's 25 Most Influential People by TIME magazine, and considered Darwin’s “natural heir,” Wilson comes to Palo Alto to share visionary ideas on environmentalism.

This Mother’s Day, E.O. Wilson will deliver a plea for a new human ethic based on a wiser, more careful stewardship of our vanishing natural world while sharing his optimism that we still have an opportunity to save the living things and wild places that sustain us. For more information about Wilson visit www.eowilson.org.

This lecture-style event will be hosted by Don Kennedy, President Emeritus of Stanford University and editor-in-chief of Science. The event will be emceed by KQED Forum Host Michael Krasny.

The talk will be held at the Spangenberg Theater, Gunn High School, 780 Arastradero Rd, Palo Alto, CA  94306.
