 Center of Biological Diversity is teaming up with the Thoreau Society for a 
 special \nEarth Day event to discuss resistance and extinction. \n\nWe'll 
 explore the works of the beloved 19th-century naturalist and philosopher 
 \nHenry David Thoreau (July 12, 1817 – May 6, 1862) and how they relate 
 to today's fight \nto end the extinction crisis.\n\nThe Thoreau Society's 
 mission is to preserve Thoreau's legacy and advocate for the preservation 
 of the natural world, including Walden Pond and surrounding areas. \nThe 
 Thoreau Society exists to stimulate interest in Thoreau's life and works, 
 challenging \nall to live a deliberate, considered life.\n\n\nThis Earth 
 Day discussion will include:\n\n--Rochelle Johnson,  President of Thoreau 
 Society\n\n--Michael Frederick, Executive Director of Thoreau Society  
 \n\n--Laura Walls, author of "Henry David Thoreau: A Life"\n\n--Peter 
 Galvin, Director of Programs & Founder, Center for Biological Diversity 
 \n\n--Tierra Curry, Senior Scientist at Center for Biological 
 Diversity\n\n_____________________________________________________________ 
 \n\nABOUT: Center for Biological 
 Diversity\n\nhttps://www.biologicaldiversity.org/\n\nSF Bay Area office: 
 1212 Broadway #800, Oakland, CA 94612\n\nAt the Center for Biological 
 Diversity, we believe that the welfare of human beings is deeply linked to 
 nature — to the existence in our world of a vast diversity of wild 
 animals and plants.\n\nBecause diversity has intrinsic value, and because 
 its loss impoverishes society, we work to secure a future for all species, 
 great and small, hovering on the brink of extinction. We do so through 
 science, law and creative media, with a focus on protecting the lands, 
 waters and climate that species need to survive.\n\nWe want those who come 
 after us to inherit a world where the wild is still 
 alive.\n_______________________________________________________________
