SUMMARY:The 14th Annual La Kretz Center Public Lecture: Biotechnology for Conservation Success
DESCRIPTION:The UCLA La Kretz Center of California Conservation Science is excited to be hosting the 14th Annual La Kretz Center Public Lecture on Saturday\, October 11th\, 2025\, at Boyer Hall on the UCLA main campus. This year’s topic is Biotechnology for Conservation. For its 14th Public Lecture\, the Center is honored to have Ben Novak to speak about the work he does as a lead scientist at the revolutionary wildlife conservation organization: Revive and Restore. \nConservation science and the biotech industry have had a sometimes-fraught\, but ultimately powerful partnership for decades. Since 2012\, the conservation non-profit Revive & Restore has been building the “Genetic Rescue Toolkit”\, a suite of biotechnologies from genomics to gene-editing that enable new opportunities to save species. Although many biotechnology tools and applications are in nascent phases of development\, they are no longer science fiction. Work to clone the endangered black-footed ferret has achieved a feat never accomplished before – the restoration of lost genetic diversity in an endangered species. Research is now underway to ensure that such options are possible for some of the world’s most endangered organisms\, including amphibians and coral reefs. More ambitious yet\, passenger pigeon de-extinction is on the horizon\, bringing with it a revolution for avian conservation. Can biotechnologies save any species and ecosystem in the face of human-induced threats? Join to hear from Ben Novak and participate in the conversation. \nFollowing the lecture\, attendees will have the chance to enjoy refreshments while meeting La Kretz-funded student researchers and learning about their research in California conservation science. \nThis free event is open to all ages and is sponsored by the UCLA Institute of the Environment & Sustainability. Metered parking can be found at numerous parking facilities around campus\, with Parking Structure 2 being the closest to the venue. \nThe La Kretz Center for California Conservation\, managed by UCLA\, connects a diverse network of UCLA faculty\, postdoctoral scientists\, and students with various conservation groups that work to protect and restore California’s biodiversity. \nPlease direct any questions related to the Public Lecture to lakretz@ioes.ucla.edu. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Panel Discussion: Fire\, Land Stewardship\, and Indigenous Conservancy
DESCRIPTION:Presented in conjunction with the Fire Kinship exhibition at the Fowler Museum at UCLA\, this panel will bring together Indigenous scholars\, fire practitioners\, and land trust leaders to explore the role of land conservancy in the broader Land Back movement. \nFocusing on fire as both a cultural practice and an ecological tool\, the discussion will examine how Indigenous-led conservancies are reclaiming stewardship through legal frameworks that support the return of land and the revitalization of ancestral care practices. Panelists will share case studies\, community-led strategies\, and the challenges of putting fire back on the ground in landscapes where cultural burns were once suppressed. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Livestream Panel: AI and the Politics and Extraction
DESCRIPTION:This is an external event\, not hosted by UCLA\, which may be of interest to our community \nThe rapid expansion of artificial intelligence has brought renewed urgency to questions of climate justice. The massive resource extraction required to build and power data center infrastructure is having profound impacts on local communities and ecosystems. At the same time\, the large-scale monetization of data raises complex political and ethical issues\, with far-reaching consequences for democracy\, human rights\, and the environment. \nIn this public discussion\, Professors Naomi Klein (University of British Columbia – Vancouver\, UBC-V)\, Stephanie Dick (Simon Fraser University)\, Wendy Wong (UBC-Okanagan) and Hamish van der Ven (UBC-V) will explore questions around the implications of AI for climate justice\, the governance of AI and protection of users\, and which beneficial models of AI could and should be explored. Moderated by Professor Carol Liao (UBC-V) \nREGISTER HERE – Zoom link will be sent to registrants closer to event date

SUMMARY:Advancing adaptation: Mapping costs from cooling to coastal defenses
DESCRIPTION:The benefits of adaptation far outweigh its costs\, yet the world today spends just one-third of what’s needed to protect everyone exposed to hazards to developed-economy standards. With warming projected to reach 2°C by 2050\, new McKinsey Global Institute (MGI) research gives a pixel-level\, geospatial look at what that warmer world really means\, which regions are most exposed\, and what adapting to extreme weather events would look like. \n  \nJoin MGI for a virtual event to explore the findings of their new report\, Advancing adaptation: Mapping costs from cooling to coastal protection\, featuring a presentation by the report authors and a panel discussion with leaders on this topic. \n  \nThe session will explore:\n➢ How will a 2°C warmer world reshape the pattern of climate risks between today and 2050? \n➢ Where is exposure to climate hazards largest\, and how is it shifting over time? \n➢ What adaptation measures offer the most cost-effective and scalable path to closing protection shortfalls? \n➢ How much will it cost to implement adaptation measures? And what will it take—institutionally and financially—to accelerate the pace of climate adaptation? \n  \nOnce registered\, you will receive an email confirmation and can add the event to your calendar. Registrants who can’t attend live will receive a recording of the event.   \n  \nREGISTER HERE
