SLU HOSTS SPEAKER ON 'WILDLANDS' PROJECT

CANTON - David Johns, treasurer of the Wildlands Project - a 
North American conservation program - will give a talk on 
Monday, April 29, at 7:30 p.m. in Room 10 of Carnegie International 
Education Center at St. Lawrence University. The event is open 
to the public, free of charge.
	The mission of the Wildlands Project, based in Vermont, is 
"to protect and restore the natural heritage of North America 
through the establishment of a connected system of wildlands." 
The project is working to create regional and continental networks 
of conservation areas that will protect wild habitat, biodiversity, 
ecological integrity, ecological services and evolutionary processes. 
The group seeks partnerships with grassroots and national 
conservation organizations, government agencies, indigenous peoples, 
private landowners, and with naturalists, scientists, and 
conservationists across the continent to create networks of 
"wildlands," from Central America to Alaska and from Nova Scotia 
to California.
	For more information, contact the environmental studies 
office, at (315) 229-5814.
