“What does it mean to be a 21st Century Naturalist” 
American Museum of Natural History is presenting a special conversation about the role of wilderness in American culture and identity. From Theodore Roosevelt stating ”There can be no greater issue than that of conservation in this country.” (1912) to today’s diverse views about wildlife, climate change and the use of natural resources, there’s no better time to understand America’s history and goals with regard to wilderness and how they apply today. 
Tom Brokaw will moderate a panel discussion with Douglas Brinkley, Lisa Graumlich, Michael Novacek and Rick Ridgeway on April 9, 2012 at the American Museum of Natural History.
