On September 12 (12:00 - 13:00, Auditorium of the Bioinformatics Research Centre, building 1110), Dr. Meredith Root-Bernstein (Ecoinformatics and Biodiversity group, Aarhus University) will deliver the talk titled "Rewilding with Homo sapiens?". Please, take a look to the summary of her presentation below:

"Despite much talk about the loss of ecological functions after megafauna extinctions, and restoring those functions through rewilding, the importance of mega-omnivores, and in particular the extinct hominin species, is rarely considered.  I discuss why these species might be of particular ecological importance, and I consider the potential for using Homo sapiens as a proxy species. This perspective might inspire some new approaches to conservation management, while drawing on a number of community-based and indigenous approaches to integrating humans into sustainable ecosystems." 

We hope to see you there, and please, spread the word!
