  Richard A. Houghton is an ecologist who has worked on the 
interaction between the global carbon cycle and climate for more than 
30 years. His work brings together the history of land use with the 
changes in carbon that result when lands are managed. That work has 
increased in importance as the world recognizes the need to monitor 
changes in terrestrial carbon resulting from both management and the 
effects of climatic disruption. The climate is changing at an 
unprecedented rate in human history, tropical forests are being cut, 
freshwater resources are at risk, and biological diversity is 
declining. "We know how to reverse these trends, but it will be the 
great challenge of our generation to sustain prosperous and 
meaningful life experiences for 7 to 10 billion people while 
stewarding the climate, forests, soils, air, and water upon which 
life depends."
