March 20 @ 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm
On March 20th, from 12:30 to 1:30 EST, join IUCN member OneNature in celebrating the International Day of Happiness with a webinar dedicated to Interconnection!
Along with Beth, this session will feature four additional speakers: Gunjan Menon (Beyond Premieres), Jason Baldes (Wind River Tribal Buffalo Initiative), Patience Kabamba (National Pedagogical University, Kinshasa), and Roshan Patel (Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute).
These five speakers will discuss how “human societies have a long history of coexistence with wildlife. In honor of the International Day of Happiness, our speakers will discuss some examples of these powerful connections and the role they play in happiness and well-being. These stories and lessons of cultural keystone species around the world can inspire us as we search for ways to address the current extinction crisis and can help us all develop and communicate a roadmap for ways to connect with wildlife in our own backyards.”
