"The Effects of Ecotourism on Endangered Species" with Dan Blumstein, Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at UCLA. Ecotourism is the fastest growing part of the world's largest industry, tourism. Yet, in order for ecotourism to be sustainable, we must know much more about how non-humans perceive the myriad of impacts associated with tourism so that they can be minimized. Dan's research aims to develop predictive models about how species react to human impacts based on an understanding of life-histories and evolutionary "experiences". This free educational event is sponsored by the West Los Angeles Group of the Angeles Chapter of the Sierra Club. Event details: Wednesday, November 11th, 2009 at 7pm at Culver City Veterans Memorial Auditorium in the Uruapan room, 4117 Overland Ave., Culver City 90230. Plenty of free lighted parking. Refreshments are served and there is always a lively talk accompanying the program. Feel free to bring a friend; all meetings are open to both members and non-members of the Sierra Club.
