The Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History invites you to an informative lecture with Peter S. Alagona. An assistant professor of history and environmental studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara, Peter will shed light on the importance of the landmark federal Endangered Species Act, the most powerful and comprehensive U.S. environmental law and most ambitious biodiversity conservation statute ever enacted by any country. As the act turns forty years old this year, Peter will shed light on what we have learned in the last four decades, why efforts to preserve endangered species often result in such bitter controversy, and other related issues.
