SYMPOSIUM: Will the Rainforests Survive? New Threats and Realities in
the Tropical Extinction Crisis

DESCRIPTION: Biodiversity conservation ... global climate change ...

how the future of rainforests is being affected by climate change,
industrial development, and natural resource exploitation.

DATE: Monday, January 12, 2009

TIME: 1:00 pm - 6:30 pm, followed by a cocktail reception

LOCATION: Baird Auditorium, National Museum of Natural History,
Washington, DC
