Both the American Prairie Reserve, located in northern Montana, and Iberá National Park, in northeastern Argentina, are reintroducing keystone species to their respective landscapes in order to benefit the ecosystems and the people who depend on them. In this special presentation, you can experience these wild places and their rebound stories without leaving home! Join us for an online screening of two short films, Last Wild Places: American Prairie Reserve and Last Wild Places: Iberá National Park, to learn how conservationists are working to protect these threatened landscapes. Following the films, stick around for a discussion with some of the people behind the rebirth of these areas, including Alison Fox, CEO of American Prairie Reserve; Kristine Tompkins, co-founder and president of Tompkins Conservation; Kenneth "Tuffy" Helgeson, Vice Chairman of the Island Mountain Development Group; Sebastián Di Martino, Conservation Director for Fundación Rewilding Argentina; and Vanessa Serrao, Executive Producer for the National Geographic Society.
This program is presented as part of Films Across Borders, an American University-led partnership with embassies and culture institutions in Washington, D.C. Now in its sixth year, the cinematic offerings reflect this year's theme, Stories of Resilience and Hope.
A couple of weeks ago, National Geographic Society hosted a virtual event with our class of 2020 Emerging Explorers, a group of gifted changemakers who use science, storytelling, education, and conservation to illuminate and protect the wonder of our world. Missed the event but still want to hear about the impact they are having on our planet? Visit our Watch Page where you can view the event on-demand whenever you'd like. We are continually inspired by the work of our National Geographic Explorers and we hope you will be too after listening to their stories.
In celebration of the 100th anniversary of women's suffrage this past August, the National Geographic Museum released a virtual tour of the"Women: A Century of Change" exhibition where you can virtually explore archival images that showcase a global chronicle of the lives of women. Our museum is temporarily closed, but you can virtually transport yourself to the halls of the exhibition in 360-degree video and zoom into select images throughout the experience to hear stories from featured photographers like Erika Larsen, Jodi Cobb, and Lynn Johnson.
