Miami University’s Hefner Museum of Natural History will celebrate its 50th annual lecture at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 14. The lecture, titled “The Wild Future: How Animals Make Our World,” will be located in Laws Hall, room 100 on Miami’s Oxford campus.
Speaker and biologist author Joe Roman will present examples of how protecting and re-establishing populations of wild animals can help rebuild ecosystems, leading to even further abundance and diversity of wild creatures, and a healthier, more productive planet for people.
The event is free to attend for all ages, and a reception will be at the Hefner Museum of Natural History in 100 Upham Hall immediately following the lecture. For more information, visit the museum’s website.
