Panelists

M. A. Sanjayan, Ph.D., is one of three Lead Scientists for The Nature Conservancy. His job is to ensure that The Nature Conservancy is using the best available scientific methods in order to implement its mission of preserving the plants, animals and natural communities that represent the diversity of life on earth.

Stuart L. Pimm, professor of conservation biology at Columbia, has become a leader in the field of extinction theory and in predicting extinction risks in the wake of increasing demands on natural resources. By examining the population dynamics and geographical distributions of many different organisms, he has produced convincing demonstrations of where and how we should focus future efforts for biological conservation.
