Newsweek interviews Charney on how development impacts ecosystems
In a compilation of quotes from expert sources for a story on land conservation and wildlife, Newsweek included commentary from Noah Charney, assistant professor of conservation biology at the University of Maine. “When companies come in and fence off land, drive heavy machinery, build roads and divert water, these cause major changes to the local ecosystems and the ability of the species to persist,” Charney said. The report from Newsweek was shared broadly across the U.S., including in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram and the Kansas City Star.
