Brad Cardinale, School of Natural Resources and Environment's associate professor and director of the school's conservation ecology program recently had an opinion piece about biodiversity and its impact on humanity published in the professional magazine, The Scientist.
Cardinale focuses on increasing evidence that suggests that loss of the Earth's biological diversity will compromise our planet's ability to provide the goods and services societies need to prosper.

"I felt that if we could have a chair at Michigan, we could feature the best of ecology, the best of economics, and the best of environmental problem solving."
-Peter M. Wege
The Wege Foundation's $1.5 million gift to the University of Michigan endows the Peter M. Wege Chair of Sustainable Systems at the School of Natural Resources and Environment.
