But our planet is experi encing a biodiversity crisis, in which a significant portion of these speci es are in danger of extinction in the coming decades. This loss of species – which is caused by human activities – is a tragedy for the Earth's ecolog y and non-human inhabitants, but will also have significant impacts on huma n societies.\nIn this talk, we will discuss the causes of the current biodi versity crisis, with a focus on California biodiversity. We will discuss wh ich species are most endangered, what we can do to try to limit the loss of species, and efforts underway in our region to preserve our local biodiver sity, especially endangered plants, invertebrates and animal species.\nDr. Lynne Trulio is a professor and former chair of the Department of Environme ntal Studies at San José State University. Her research investigates human impacts to species and habitats, especially public access impacts to wildl ife and the ecology and preservation of the western burrowing owl (Athene c unicularia) in California.\nIn addition to her professorship, she was chair of Environmental Studies for 15 years and the Associate Dean of the Colleg e of Social Sciences for two years.
