Evening Lecture and Book Signing 6 - 8pm

David I. Theodoropoulos, is an independent conservation biologist specializing in germplasm conservation, seed banking, the biology of anthropogenic dispersal, ethnobotany, and scientific ethics. He also is actively interested in issues concerning the biological commons, the cultural commons, belief-systems in science, intellectual property, centralization/control vs. decentralization/decontrol, and man-nature relationships. His special interest is study of the history, structure and development of the pseudoscience of invasion biology.

On Tuesday, October 4, at 6pm, the Santa Barbara Permaculture Network and Los Angeles Permaculture Guild host - David Theodoropoulous of The J.L. Hudson Ethnobotanical Catalog of Seeds - Preservation Through Dissemination. <http://www.jlhudsonseeds.net/>www.jlhudsonseeds<http://www.jlhudsonseeds.net/>.net/ ( largest grassroots, public-accessseed bank, ) for a Booksigning/Lecture for his recently released book "Invasion Biology: A Critique of a Pseudoscience." <http://dtheo.org/>http://dtheo<http://dtheo.org/>.org/ at Farmer and Cook Restaurant Meiners Oaks.

Invasion biology holds the belief that biological invasions of plant and animal species are amongst the most significant threats to biodiversity worldwide. And that invasive species cause local extinctions, threaten biodiversity and drastically alter ecosystem structures and functioning. David Theodoropoulos through his book "Invasion Biology: A Critique of a Pseudoscience." challenges the premises and theories of Invasion Biology.

David is an accomplished ethnobotanist, having worked with a Zapotec/mestizo community for over 25 years. In 1973 he established a grassroots, public-access seed bank, The J.L. Hudson Ethnobotanical Catalog of Seeds - Preservation Through Dissemination. In 1988, he established Las Sombras Biological Preserve for the preservation, study, and long-term ecological research into the local biota, and for the ex situ preservation of threatened plants. Currently, David maintains ex situ populations of plants which are threatened or of conservation concern, from South America, MesoAmerica, Africa, Asia, Europe, Australia, and eastern North America, as well as Californian plants of concern.
