Program Description: In the early 1990's scientists began to prophesize that we really had the decade of the '90s to begin reversing the environmental damage that we created. Kenny Ausubel took the warnings to heart and gathered together a collection of people—biologists, Indigenous leaders, architects, poets, designers, farmers, earth activists, spiritual explorers—who all had one thing in common. Each had peered into an "interesting window of biology" and found a solution for a major environmental problem. Ausubel named them "Bioneers" (biological pioneers) and the first Bioneers Conference was born. Hear and celebrate the innovations that are healing life support systems, reducing the human footprint, honoring native wisdom, and restoring the wild. Come share the vision of the Bioneers: a future where people, animals, and the Earth live in mutual respect. 1 hour
