Professor *William Sutherland *at the University of Cambridge (UK) will
deliver a Rachel Carson Distinguished Lecture via *Zoom* at *10:00 am
(*ET*) *on*Thursday, **September 26, 2024*.
*Dr. William Sutherland*is Professor of Conservation Biology, Department
of Zoology, University of Cambridge, UK. He is a leading ecologist and
conservation scientist. Over the last twenty years he has pioneered a
range of approaches to policy and practice including novel means of
horizon scanning, identifying policy-relevant research agendas, new
techniques for collating and assessing evidence, and processes for
embedding experiments into practice. With over eleven hundred named
collaborators he has created the website www.conservationevidence.com
<http://www.conservationevidence.com>(which reviews the evidence for the
effectiveness of 3155 conservation actions), and a set of tools for
making evidence-based decisions and embedding evidence into practice. He
was President of the British Ecological Society and regularly advises
government and conservation organisations. His outstanding
accomplishments have earned him numerous prestigious awards and honors.
For example, he is a Fellow of the Royal Society and a Commander of the
British Empire. He is also a recipient of the ECI Prize, Sir John
Burnett Memorial Lecture Medal, Distinguished Service Award from the
Society for Conservation Biology, Marsh Award for Ecology from the
British Ecological Society, and many others.
His lecture is titled “*Converting Science into Policy: A
Career Inspired by Rachel Carson*”.**
