The Ethnobiology Society at UHM presents distinguished speaker Dr. Sam Gon III, Senior Scientist/Cultural Advisor of The Nature Conservancy of Hawaiʻi.

A deadly fungus threatens the iconic ʻōhiʻa tree and the health of the native Hawaiian forest. What are the cultural and ecological responses to such a devastating and quickly escalating outbreak?

Please join us Friday for a moving talk about the intersection of culture and ecology.

Talk begins at 5 p.m. Please RSVP for FREE reception that begins prior to talk at 4:30 p.m., sponsored in part by the Associated Students of the University of Hawaii (ASUH).
