The Goodwin-Niering Center for Conservation Biology and
Environmental Studies at Connecticut College is a comprehensive,
interdisciplinary program that builds on one of the nation's
leading undergraduate environmental studies programs. The C- ter
fosters research, education, and curriculum development aimed at
understanding contemporary ecological challenges. One of the major
goals of the Goodwin-Niering Center is to enhance the understanding
of both the College community and the general public with respect
to ecological, political, social, and economic factors that affect
natural resource use and preservation of natural ecosystems. To
this end, the C- ter has offered six conferences at which
academicians, representatives of federal and state government,
people who depend on natural resources for their living, and in-
viduals from non-government environmental organizations were
brought together for an in-depth, interdisciplinary evaluation of
important environmental issues. On April 6 and 7, 2007, the Center
presented the Elizabeth Babbott Conant interdisciplinary conference
on Saving Biological Diversity: Weighing the Protection of
Endangered Species vs. Entire Ecosystems. The Beaver Brook
Foundation; Audubon Connecticut, the state of?ce of the National
Audubon Society; the Connecticut Chapter of The Nature Conservancy;
Connecticut Forest and Park Association and the Connecticut Sea
Grant College Program joined the Center as conference sponsors.
During this two-day conference we learned about conservation and
endangered species fromawiderange ofperspectives. Likeallof
theconferences sponsored bythe Goodwin-Niering Center, this
conference was broadly interdisciplinary, with pres- tations by
economists, political scientists, and conservation biologists.
