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 (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”.
