Thara
Srinivasan is a scientist who has
most recently engaged in
ecology and environmental policy research.
She is very interested in the geographic patterns
underlying humanity’s
relationship to nature’s services, and the responsibility of the
world’s
citizens for paying for and stopping ecological degradation. Her work seeks to shed light on the
geographic mismatch, where it exists, between peoples suffering from
ecological
harm and those consumers of the goods or services derived from such
environmental change. She has also
focused on spatial patterns of species richness, in particular how
species’
diets within their food webs are related to their success or extinction
across
landscapes. In addition, she is
currently interested in the interface between ecology and education, in
how to
effectively communicate the interconnectedness, beauty, and fragility
of nature
in curricula, and also how a deeper understanding of nature’s services
and the
plight of biodiversity can enrich the lives of schoolchildren.
