Since its inception in January 2007, the Women’s Conservation Forum has held six inspiring events focused on cutting-edge solutions to today’s most urgent environmental challenges. This year, the theme of the Forum events is “Lost There, Felt Here”. When healthy forests are destroyed around the world, the effects of this are felt not only on that one acre, but all around the world. The Forum will explore this concept during three luncheon events. We are also delighted to announce a special kick-off evening event open to everyone, including spouses, guests, family and friends.
Kick-off Evening Event:
- October 1, 2008 – New York Times columnist, Thomas L. Friedman, discusses his new book, Hot, Flat and Crowded, and gives his perspective on globalization and the environment. To learn more about this event, click here.
Luncheon Events:
- December 10, 2008 – Human Health and Our Planet: How our health is linked to biodiversity and the health of the Earth. To learn more about this event, click here.
- February 4, 2009 – Ecotourism: The experience of traveling to the world’s most biologically rich places and the responsibility of protecting them.
- May 2009 – Carbon 101: Everything you wanted to know about carbon but were afraid to ask!
