Fellow Story

Dudney, Heilmayr publish on rethinking resilience-based management before it’s too late

Ecosystems around the globe are resisting and adapting to human-induced change: infrastructure invades wild spaces, new species are introduced or disappear, and climate change continues to shape the natural world.
