Biodiversity is the variety of plants, animals, and other species interacting with their environment to maintain the balance of nature. Los Angeles is fortunate to be located within a globally recognized hotspot of native biodiversity; however, this designation also means that the biodiversity here is threatened, and innovative strategies are needed to ensure its resilience and sustainability. Topics and panelists include: Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services - Eric Strauss, President's Professor of Biology and Executive Director of the Center for Urban Resilience; Global Policy Landscape and Financial Models of Biodiversity Protection – Tyler Harlan, Associate Professor of Urban and Environmental Studies; and Business Application - Larry Kalbers, Professor of Accounting and R. Chad Dreier Chair in Accounting Ethics.
