Age of Nature Screening & Events

By |

Screening October 13 at 7 pm ET

Join WSKG and Science Pub as we celebrate the upcoming three-part series The Age of Nature with a virtual screening and panel discussion focused on nature and conservation. Our panel will take a look at nature and the outdoors while examining how we balance human growth and conservation. Each episode will focus on three stories that take us beyond the traditional natural history series to answer three questions:

What have our past mistakes taught us about nature?How is our understanding of nature changing the way we live?As the challenges we face mount, where are we heading next? The Age of Nature brings together wildlife filmmaking, science, anthropology, and history to shed light on perhaps the biggest story of our time – how an increasing awareness of nature is changing the way we live on earth. This is a virtual event.
