Last week I participated in the Sun Valley Forum. Beyond meeting lots of interesting and inspirational people, I did a fireside chat with the forum’s founder Aimée Christensen on the state of reporting from Nature’s frontline; conducted interviews with author David Ewing Duncan and artist/activist Indrani Pal-Chaudhuri; and moderated the “Mega Deals For Nature” panel involving David Banks, Chief Conservation Officer at The Nature Conservancy; Mike Coe, Senior Scientist at the Woodwell Climate Research Center; and Agustin Silvani, Sustainable Finance Lead at Conservation International.
All the videos should be published online soon.
