Lecture & Tour: Life in Crisis - Again
November 16, 2010
The current global crisis is not the first the earth has experienced. In fact, there have been several cataclysmic events when many species on the planet died out. These presentations will review the past five great extinctions, examining what went extinct and what might be the possible causes for each mass extinction. It is important to examine the fossil record to identify common threads, so that this knowledge can be applied to the present day situation.
Following these presentations, there will be a tour of the Life in Crisis: Schad Gallery of Biodiversity conducted by Barbara Filion, Bilingual Teacher, ROM Education and Programs Department. The tour will demonstrate how biodiversity and First Peoples' worldviews connect and will include examples of how traditional knowledge is being used in combination with science in order to address present day environmental issues.
