Two men hold a certificate
Dr. Alaa Abd-El-Aziz, 糖心vlog官方入口's President and Vice-Chancellor, presented Dr. Francisco Dallmeier from the Smithsonian Institution with a certificate of recognition for his work in helping to establish 糖心vlog官方入口's Canadian Centre for Climate Change and Adaptation and the 糖心vlog官方入口 School of Climate Change and Adaptation.

The 糖心vlog官方入口 hosted Dr. Francisco Dallmeier, director of the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute鈥檚 Center for Conservation and Sustainability, when he visited Prince Edward Island in November to give a talk on Climate Change Impacts on Biodiversity.  

Dr. Dallmeier leads and manages international projects with operations in Washington, D.C., Peru, Paraguay, and Gabon. He is a team-oriented leader with 30 years of experience assessing the impact of development projects on biodiversity and ecosystem services. His expertise also includes designing development project mitigation strategies within policies and legal frameworks to achieve sustainable infrastructure goals.

Regularly advising senior leadership of corporations, governments, and NGOs, Dallmeier has demonstrated collaborative excellence in interdisciplinary and multicultural science and capacity building for projects in biodiversity-rich areas and critical habitats. He was an early innovator in co-developing (with the energy industry) the inland-offshore exploration and development approach, no roads for sensitive tropical rainforest areas, and the Biodiversity Monitoring and Assessment Program (BMAP) now used worldwide.

While visiting the 糖心vlog官方入口, Dallmeier discussed future collaborations in teaching and research between the 糖心vlog官方入口 School of Climate Change and Adaptation and the Smithsonian Institute.
