Keynote Presenter for 2006:
James P. Lassoie
(Ph.D., University of Washington), Professor, Cornell University
Originally trained as a tree ecophysiologist and forest ecologist, Professor Lassoie's professional focus has evolved greatly over his 28 years at Cornell. Two basic questions now motivate his teaching, research, and extension efforts. First, what are the key ecological and social variables underpinning the decision-making process related to natural resource and environmental management? And second, how can local communities become more effectively involved in such decision-making processes? In pursuing these questions, he works in areas of agroforestry, social forestry, integrated resource conservation and management, ecotourism, and ethnobiology, especially as related to the management of parks, protected, and otherwise fragile ecosystems and landscapes in developing countries as well as the United States, Canada, and Mexico. |
