SUMMARY:Keynote Panel: Cuba’s Environmental Future – What Normalizing Diplomatic Relations with the U.S. Means for Cuba’s Sustainability
DESCRIPTION:Keynote Panel: Cuba’s Environmental Future – What Normalizing Diplomatic Relations with the U.S. Means for Cuba’s Sustainability | Thursday\, November 10\, 4:00pm\, Palladium Theater | Tickets $15 (click here) \nOcean Doctor president\, Dr. David E. Guggenheim\, leads a panel of experts to discuss Cuba’s environmental future. \nThe past 50 years have seen extreme degradation to the environment\, especially in the Caribbean\, where tourism and associated coastal development has had a particularly severe impact. The Caribbean has lost 50 percent of its coral cover since 1970. However\, many of Cuba’s natural ecosystems\, including coral reefs\, remain remarkably healthy. \nAs relations normalize with the United States\, Cuba faces unprecedented pressures from tourism\, foreign investment\, and development that threaten its ecosystems\, architectural heritage\, and culture. Normalized relations bring a new level of collaboration between the two countries\, including important scientific and conservation efforts. \nIs Cuba doomed to the same fate of the rest of the Caribbean?  Or will the country emerge as a shining green jewel of the Caribbean with a sustainable future and enduring protection for its natural heritage? \nThis high-level panel explores these issues in depth and brings us up-to-date on environmental agreements between Cuba and the U.S.\, as well as new initiatives\, such as the Cuba-U.S. Sustainability Partnership (CUSP)\, that offer hope for the environmental future of both countries.

SUMMARY:A Living  Time Machine: Cuba’s Remarkable  Ocean Ecosystems and and the Hope They Offer  Florida and the World
DESCRIPTION:A Living  Time Machine: Cuba’s Remarkable  Ocean Ecosystems and and the Hope They Offer  Florida and the World\nDavid E. Guggenheim\, Ph.D.\n \nGuggenheim is founder and president of Ocean Doctor\, a non-profit conservation organization in Washington\, DC\, where he is in his 17th year leading research and conservation efforts in Cuba focused on coastal communities and protecting coral reef ecosystems. His work has been featured on 60 Minutes with Anderson Cooper\, on the PBS\nNature series and on NPR.\n \nWhile 50 percent of the Caribbean’s corals have vanished since 1970\, many of Cuba’s marine ecosystems remain spectacularly healthy\, a Jurassic Park-like experience teeming with endangered species seldom seen elsewhere\nin the Caribbean\, including bountiful sharks and grouper…truly a living time machine. Dr. Guggenheim\nexplores why Cuba’s ecosystems remain so healthy\, the threat posed by the “tsunami” of Americans now pouring into the island as relations normalize between Cuba and the U.S\, and what is being done to ensure that Cuba avoids\nthe mistakes made elsewhere in the Caribbean over the past half century.
