Location:      Scotiabank Theatre, Sobey Building ( (903 Robie St), Saint
Mary's University

Join the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society
(CPAWS)<http://www.cpawsns.org>and Saint
Mary’s University Environmental Society (SMUES) <http://www.smues.ca> for
this Earth Day event to launch Herb Hammond’s latest book, *Maintaining
Whole Systems On Earth’s Crown: EcoSystem-based Conservation Planning for
the Boreal Fores*t. The evening will include a visually beautiful and
informative slideshow presentation with the author, Herb Hammond, forest
ecologist, author of the 1992 award-winning book, *Seeing the Forest Among
the Trees*.

The event will begin with a presentation from CPAWS on the important
conservation work happening in Nova Scotia. Then, learn about the
philosophy, principles and practice of ecosystem-based conservation planning
(EBCP) as both a means to achieving ecologically responsible land management
and as a broader approach to tackling the many environmental challenges
facing us today.

Herb illustrates clearly how healthy societies are rooted in healthy
ecosystems and provides a blueprint that combines scientific knowledge,
Indigenous knowledge, and intuition to maintain and restore the ecosystems
that sustain all life.

Maintaining Whole Systems on Earth's Crown provides solutions to the current
inappropriate and unsustainable exploitation of resources, a vital component
in the fight to halt global warming.
