Marc Bekoff Talk
Dr. Bekoff is Professor Emeritus of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Colorado and a pioneer in the study of animal emotions and compassionate conservation. In this engaging talk, he will explore what science tells us about animal minds, emotions, empathy, and our ethical responsibility toward other species.
Whether you are passionate about animal advocacy, curious about animal behavior, or simply love animals, this conversation will offer powerful insights and inspiration for building a more compassionate world.
All are welcome—members, friends, and anyone interested in animals and compassion.
Hosted by the UU Animal Ministry of Houston.
