Join the NH Audubon Seacoast Chapter for their September in-person program: Outlawing Extinction: The Fight Over The Endangered Species Act in the 1970s

Fifty years ago, Congress passed overwhelmingly the most powerful legislation in the world to protect endangered species – and almost instantly many members regretted doing so. In this illustrated lecture, historian Kurk Dorsey will analyze the origins of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 and the legal battles that defined what the law really has meant. Kurk Dorsey is the chair of the Department of History at the University of New Hampshire, where he teaches environmental history and tries to save the study of history from extinction.
