Donald Falk, an Albuquerque resident, is one of eight scientists named a fellow this year by the Ecological Society of America.

The society awards fellowships to scientists who have made outstanding contributions across a wide range of fields, including advancing and applying ecological knowledge in academia, government and nonprofit organizations.

鈥淓ach year, they designate a certain number of scientists who have made career contributions as fellows, and that's what was so exciting,鈥� Falk said.

The Ecological Society of America launched its fellowship program in 2012 to recognize members for their achievements and support their advancement into leadership positions. The organization also offers an Early Career Fellows program.

鈥淭hese Fellows and Early Career Fellows represent a remarkable group of scientists whose contributions are shaping the direction of ecological research and its application,鈥� ESA President Peter Groffman said in a news release. 鈥淚 am delighted to see their achievements recognized by their peers.鈥�

Falk specializes in fire history and forest ecology.

鈥淧eople who study ecology ... study forests and grasslands. They study birds and insects and fish, and they study soils and everything that makes the natural world around us. That's what ecology is,鈥� Falk said.

Falk鈥檚 work in conservation and restoration helped earn him the fellowship, according to the society鈥檚 website.

The organization also cited his leadership roles in environmental organizations and his contributions to global change research, education and policy.

Among those roles was serving as a delegate to the 2015 Paris climate agreement.

鈥淭hat was a life-changing experience. ... It was a moment of humanity thinking collectively of ourselves as one giant human family living on one precious planet,鈥� he said.

Falk said New Mexico鈥檚 diverse landscapes continue to inspire his work.

"It's why I live in New Mexico. The diversity of the state is extraordinary, from desert grasslands all the way up to subalpine areas above treeline,鈥� he said.

He also discussed how climate change is affecting New Mexico.

鈥淭he really big change is that every year Earth is getting hotter, and that is having a profound change on ecosystems everywhere. In New Mexico, in our forests and in the Rio Grande, we鈥檙e really seeing the impact of that,鈥� he said.

Falk said the technology needed to address climate change already exists.

鈥淲e don't have to wait for some magical technology ... we don't have decades anymore. The Earth is heating up now,鈥� Falk said. 鈥淪o we should be doing everything we can in this moment to bend that climate curve.鈥�
