“Rewilding as a Personal Commitment to Heal a Tired Planet”
with Marc Bekoff
When: Today, April 22nd, at 12:00 PM
Where: Performing Arts Center, Arapahoe Campus
Lunch will be served
In wildlife conservation work, rewilding — to make wild once again — refers to the creation of corridors between preserved lands that allow declining populations to rebound. In his talk Marc will apply the concept of rewilding to human attitudes and a personal and spiritual transformation. Ultimately, rewilding invites people to become re-enchanted with our world, and by dissolving false boundaries, to truly connect with both nature and ourselves.
Marc Bekoff is a former Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Colorado, Boulder, and co-founder with Jane Goodall of Ethologists for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. His latest book, Rewilding Our Hearts: Building Pathways of Compassion and Coexistence will be on sale at the event.
