this webpage for links to live webcast Will the rampant destruction of tropical forests and climate change kill off much of Earth’s biological diversity? In recent decades some biologists
have claimed that up to half of all species on earth might disappear
during our lifetimes. But other scientists are now disputing this
view, arguing that many species can persist in logged or altered
lands and that rainforest destruction is slowing.
Who is right? The stakes are high. The battle lines have been drawn. Some of the world’s top scientists are lining up to debate the tropical extinction crisis. Don’t miss the controversy—and a chance to learn more about the fate of tropical species. See background for additional information.
