- Agricultural biodiversity is as much in need of defending as the world's wildlife. Countless varieties of plants and animals were bred by the world's peoples for talents specific to every soil, climate, and human culture. Most of them have been lost -- their hard-won genetic sophistication extinguished. But many have survived, thanks to professional and amateur devotion, and they are wondrous -- living embodiments of humanity's deepest traditions. Photojournalist Jim Richardson has been covering the agricultural beat for National Geographic since 1984. His spectacular photographs, and the stories he tells with them, are renowned. Stewart Brand hosts the Long Now Seminar About Long-Term Thinking Series. There is a reception at The Long Now Museum (Bldg A, Fort Mason Center) following the seminar. Wednesday, February 22, 7:00 pm (doors), 7:30 pm (talk, lasts ~1.5 hours) $10 (advance tickets recommended) Long Now Members get complimentary tickets More information: (415) 561-6582 x3 & www.longnow.org
