And we&#8217;ve been privileged to support this museum for two generations,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Given that long history, it&#8217;s a special joy to welcome such a distinguished group of speakers. You&#8217;ve come from around the globe to address the theme of islands, a topic that takes on urgency with each shift in climate and ecology, and each shift of the major and minor tectonic plates that undergird many of world&#8217;s major islands.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Island ecosystems present unique challenges for conservation due to distinctive ecological and evolutionary processes and vulnerability to threats.\u00a0 The Milstein Science Symposium explored case studies that exemplify responses to disturbance of change in order to elucidate patterns and processes that foster resilience. Through sharing lessons learned and fostering networks of island managers who are addressing similar challenges, the symposium deepened manager insight into how to promote the resilience of coastal systems, particularly in tropical small island nations, as well as strengthen networks among island leaders, international scientists, and policy makers, paving the way for ongoing collaboration in the future.<\/p>\n<p>The Milstein Science Symposium is proudly sponsored by the Irma and Paul Milstein Family.<\/p>\n<p>Source: American Museum of Natural History<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On April 9, 2013, Howard Milstein welcomed participants to the American Museum of Natural History&#8217;s Milstein Science Symposium 2013.
