Tracking Kinship: Natural History and Wild Respect
Join Natural History Institute in a virtual event with Dr. Harry Greene to explore the role of natural history in addressing the seeming unraveling of the world. E.B. White famously said, "I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve (or save) the world and a desire to enjoy (or savor) the world. This makes it hard to plan the day." In our current time of devastating climate change and social and ecological upheavals, finding the balance between savoring and saving the world becomes more challenging, and more essential. Explore the role of attentive natural history—the direct practice of savoring the world—in addressing the seeming unraveling of the world with Dr. Harry Greene, a world-renowned field biologist, international authority on snakes, and outspoken advocate for bold conservation action.
