Description
For nearly three decades, ethnobotanist Dr. Michael Balick has studied the relationship between plants and people, working with traditional cultures in tropical, subtropical, and desert environments. He’ll discuss his latest work with indigenous peoples in Belize and Micronesia to document their plant knowledge, understand the environmental effects of their traditional management systems, and their efforts towards conserving both culture and environment.
