visiting fellows for 2005-2006
One of the top environmental leaders of the past several decades and the president of a non-governmental organization that works on environment, development and women's issues in the Caribbean region will be visiting fellows at the School of Forestry & Environmental Studies (F&ES) during the 2005-2006 academic year.
Canadian David Runnalls will join the visiting faculty at the F&ES next fall. He is the president of the International Institute for Sustainable Development, a renowned policy research center on environment and development issues.
In addition, Runnalls is co-chair of a task force on the World Trade Organization and the Environment for the China Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development; director of the North American office of the International Institute for Environment and Development; and director of the Environment and Sustainable Development Program at the Institute for Research on Public Policy in Ottawa.
Angela Cropper of Trinidad has been named the Dorothy McCluskey Visiting Fellow in Conservation for spring 2006. She was the first executive secretary of the Convention on Biological Diversity, having previously been a leader in various Caribbean organizations and the World Conservation Union.
Since 2000 she has been president of the Cropper Foundation in Trinidad, a non-governmental organization that works on environment, development and women's issues in the Caribbean region. She is co-chair of the assessment panel of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment; chair-elect of the board of trustees of the Centre for International Forestry Research; and a member of the board of the Trinidad and Tobago Environmental Management Authority and trustee of its Environment Fund.
She was a member of the World Commission on Forests and Sustainable Development and, in that capacity, the principal author of "Our Forests ... Our Future" published by Cambridge University Press in 1999.
