Paul F. Torrence is Emeritus Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, USA. His career spanned 30 years at the US National Institutes of Health where he was a Section Chief and then 8 years at Northern Arizona University where he was department chair for 3 years. He has published more than 200 scientific papers and edited 4 books in medicinal chemistry, biochemistry, and drug discovery. He now lives in Williams, Oregon where he is an organic farmer also involved in forest and watershed restoration. He organized Congressional lobbying efforts for the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in 1991 and in 1995, on leave from NIH, as an employee of the Northern Alaska Environmental Center. He was instrumental in forming the Shenandoah National Park Coalition in the early 1990's and served as a member of the Maryland Governor's Endangered Species Taskforce. He was a consultant and witness for the plaintiffs in Navajo Nation et al vs. US Forest Service et al in the issue of using reclaimed sewage water to make snow on the sacred San Francisco Peaks in Arizona. He has hiked and backpacked throughout the U.S. and mountaineered on five continents. He now serves on the legislative committee of the Williams, Oregon Grange (#399), and he is a scientific advisor to the German group SIMBIOSIS - Mensch u. Natur e.V. (www.promonte.de). He is also a BOD member of the Wilderness Land Trust (www.wildernesslandtrust.org). Most recently, he taught a course for Southern Oregon University's Osher Lifelong Learning Institute entitled "The Sixth Great Extinction and the Future of Medicine".

Dr. Torrence is a preservationist who believes that the most critical problem of all is human-induced species extinction. A fundamental disrespect of life is the root cause of much of societal failures and human suffering. Learning to co-exist with all species must form the foundation of any ultimately truly functional and successful culture.
