Human-Nonhuman Relationship Board
Denise L. Herzing and Lori Marino have cofounded our new Human-Nonhuman
Relationship Board. This board focuses on current and future planetary
conditions that impact non-human species.
The Human-Nonhuman Relationship Board discusses scientific and ethical
considerations in human-nonhuman relationships and the interdependence
and preservation at the individual, population, species, and cultural
levels. This board will be enhancing our BioPreserver program to make
sure that cultures of nonhumans are preserved as well as preserving
their genetic material.
