Title: " Robert K. Hitchcock "
Hitchcock's lecture was entitled "Africa: Environmental Conservation, Development and Human Rights." Hitchcock will address some of the major issues facing the African continent, including international pressure for wildlife and habitat conservation in the face of growing needs of Africas people for land, jobs and resources. Serious questions about human rights and social justice have been raised by local people in Africa as the construction of large dams and other developmental projects have expanded. Efforts are now being made in Africa to promote the establishment of small-scale, community-centered programs that aim at alleviating poverty and conserving diverse societies and ecosystems.
