Abstract

Norman Myers recently challenged scientists to consider the social responsibilities that derive from their expertise and knowledge (Myers 1999). He raised important questions regarding how pro-active scientists can or should be in leading public debate about the state of the environment. This article is a response to that call, and hopefully will serve to stimulate further debate on the topic.
