WCEH: Of wolves, seals and whales: human impact on aquatic and terrestrial animals

The Program Committee for the 1st World Congress for Environmental History 2009 (to take place in Copenhagen August 4-8, 2009) has evaluated all submissions in an anonymous process. More than 650 papers were submitted.

The Scientific committee has accepted my proposed paper, "Estranged, Endangered, Extinct. Lessons from the Extinction of the Scandinavian Wolf", which will be part of a panel, put together by the scientific committee, titled:

• Of wolves, seals and whales: human impact on aquatic and terrestrial animals

The other presentations currently attached to this panel include:

• Monk seal populations in the Eastern Atlantic Ocean since the 15th century: A journey through time to unravel human impacts and historical trends
• Global Whaling Politics in the North Atlantic and South Pacific
