Wildland Resources Department Seminar with Dr. Lynne Baker

Panel Discussion/Presentation

Human-Hippo Conflict & Coexistence in West Africa: A Conservation Conundrum The river hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius) is listed as Vulnerable by the IUCN, but this classification does not reflect regional variation. Hippos are at greatest risk in West Africa, owing to high human population densities, degraded freshwater habitats, and human-wildlife conflict. The species’ precarious situation is exemplified in Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country. In this presentation, Lynne will discuss the threats to hippos in West Africa and highlight a case from rural Nigeria — where humans and hippos vie for limited space and resources in a region impacted by climate change, land degradation, poverty, and political insecurity. Is there any hope for hippos?

Book Use, Book Value: the Paradoxes of Renaissance Herbals

Lecture/Readings

Renaissance herbals- sixteenth and seventeenth century printed guides to plants, herbs, and trees, sometimes beautifully illustrated- may be the most popular early modern book you've never heard of. This talk will explore how the Renaissance herbals in USU's Special Collections, and other best-sellers in their time, are often least likely to survive, making them paradoxically obscure by virtue of their ordinariness.
