Human-Ecological Resilience, Consilience, and Consciousness

Human well-being, in all it's many dimensions, and ecological integrity (health) intrinsically intertwine. This blog seeks to advocate for the preservation and enhancement of all life on Earth (Gaia). Life is precious and tenuous. We must cherish it in ourselves, in others, and in the natural world. Whatever happens to one; happens ultimately to all. "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them." - Albert Einstein

The Pimm Group is led by Dr. Stuart Pimm, Doris Duke Professor of Conservation Ecology at Nicholas School of the Environment, Duke University. His students and others have contributed since 2003 to this website, including dozens of blog posts on topics related to biodiversity, conservation, ornithology, economics, GIS science, natural disaster impacts and much more.

"We have a moral responsibility to protect the world’s ‘special places’–those richest in biodiversity and most threatened by human advances." – Dr. Stuart Pimm
