Calvin B. DeWitt

Calvin B. DeWitt is Professor of Environmental Studies at the University of Wisconsin, Madison and President Emeritus of the Au Sable Institute of Environmental Studies. He was recently awarded the prestigious National Wildlife Federation "Connie Award" recognizing him as "a world-class conservationist who has made a huge difference with his life in an arena that needs his message" and for his "thirty years of promoting sound environmental practices and for his work with Au Sable Institute, which partners with 60 Christian colleges and universities in North America and others in India and east Africa."

DeWitt is widely respected as a leading light in the movement among evangelicals toward environmental awareness and activism. He is demonstrating the possibilities and the power of faith-based communities to shape conservation policies and restore the environment. His writings range from technical to popular, from theoretical to practical and include over 130 publications in the fields of environmental physiology, environmental stewardship, wetlands science and stewardship, environmental and land ethics, religion and ecology, environmental degradations, environmental praxis, population and ecology, hunger and food production, and environmental science and theology.
