| The Rebirth of Environmentalism - Berkeley 07:00 PM » 09:00 PM | | | Thu Dec 3 7-9 pm
Over the past two decades, a select group of small but highly effective grassroots organizations have achieved remarkable success in protecting endangered species and forests in the United States.
The Rebirth of Environmentalism tells for the first time the inspiring story of these grassroots biodiversity groups. Author Douglas Bevington talks about three of the most influential biodiversity protection campaigns—the Headwaters Forest campaign, the “zero cut” campaign on national forests, and the endangered species litigation by the Center for Biological Diversity.
Based on first-person interviews with key activists in these campaigns, Bevington examines the challenging relationship between radicals and moderate groups within the environmental movement, addresses how grassroots organizations were able to have such a big impact despite their scant resources, and presents valuable lessons that can help the movement as a whole become more effective.
