The Kathryn Fuller Science for Nature Fund supports and harnesses the most promising conservation science research and puts it into practice. Named in honor of the former president and CEO of WWF-US, the fund supports an annual Science for Nature Symposium featuring global leaders in science, policy, and conservation. Additionally, a regular seminar series provides a regular forum for the conservation community.

 

A Turning Point for the Amazon

The Amazon is close to reaching a tipping point, which puts into question the future of its ecological resilience, the resilience of its people, and the health of the planet. The tropical rainforest and river system spans eight countries—each with its own peoples, cultural values, political economies, and environmental concerns and priorities. As countries work together to achieve solutions at scale, they are also acknowledging these distinct local realities.

Join us on October 17, 2023, for A Turning Point for the Amazon, the Thomas Lovejoy Science for Nature Symposium, copresented with the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. During this event, we’ll discuss the Amazon’s resilience to threats and disturbances and solutions to keep the Amazon and its people thriving. On October 24, we’ll continue the conversation virtually to consider more deeply the distinct regions of the Amazon and connect research across national borders.
