Mattias Klum Lecture: "The Big Picture: Communicating Conservation in a Complex World"

Mattias Klum, Swedish photographer, filmmaker and conservationist will deliver the Boyd Lecture, "The Big Picture: Communicating Conservation in a Complex World,"on Friday, November 11, at 2:30 p.m. in the Mahler Auditorium at the Georgia Center. Klum's talk on the "Big Picture" will focus on the fact that for 10,000 years, we have lived on a stable planet with favorable environmental conditions, but in the last 50 we may have stretched the Earth’s resilience to its breaking point. While many agree that the next 10 years will be critical, there is still hope for change. Klum will bring us striking new aerials, high definition video footage, and an on-the-ground account of the current state of our planet. With passion and optimism, he illustrates what we still have worth fighting for, and shows us the little things we can all do to have a big impact on securing our sustainable future. This event is free and open to the public.
