Science at Melbourne - Animals and Us: the role of nature in society

Animals shape our ecosystems and enrich our lives. Yet, our relationship with animals raises tough questions: How do we balance conservation with human needs? What are the environmental costs of animal agriculture? What ethical responsibilities do we owe the creatures we depend on? Join us for a discussion on the complexities of human-animal relationships. Experts from across the Faculty will discuss the ecological, emotional and economic significance of animals in society and some of the research being done to protect our friends in the animal kingdom. Moderated by urban ecology and conservation expert Dr Kylie Soanes with: Dr Cam Raw, Senior Lecturer (Indigenous Engagement & Clinical Teaching), Melbourne Veterinary School Dr Marissa Parrott, Senior Conservation Biologist, Zoos Victoria Dr Peta Taylor, Senior Lecturer (Food and Ecosystem Sciences), School of Agriculture, Food and Ecosystem Sciences Learn more about our Science at Melbourne lectures: http://science.unimelb.edu.au/engage/...
