                                      For three weeks this summer, The Nature Conservancy's Lead Scientist, Dr. M Sanjayan traveled with future leaders of the Dene First Nation people to explore the Thelon Game Sanctuary and discuss the management of a place that is inextricably bound to their culture, heritage, and future. 

                                      These are exactly the voices that need to be brought into the conversation if we are going to reinvigorate the conservation movement. On Tuesday, October 4th, Sanjayan travels to Jackson to share this message and invite you to join the effort to awaken the conservation movement. Please join us at the Craig Thomas Discovery & Visitor Center Auditorium @ 7pm for this free conversation.

                                      For more on the Thelon Expedition, visit the Huffington Post and Cool Green Science. Videos and interviews are also available at PBS. For more on the work of Sanjayan and his colleagues, please visit The Nature Conservancy's website.

                                      The Murie WILD Series is an ongoing collaboration between the Center of Wonder and The Murie Center. The Murie WILD Series recognizes the gap between the theoretical and practical in the application of environmental ethics. 

                                      By featuring a broad range of speakers—from world-class scientific and philosophical pioneers as well as visionary architects, explorers, artists and storytellers—the series will provoke new ways of thinking about and acting in our world. Speakers will explore the nexus of scientific systems and philosophical values that will help participants design solutions to current conservation challenges.

                                      The WILD Series will feature speakers with proven ability to awaken and inspire shared imagination and whose life’s work has far-reaching impact. The series will open doors to opportunities that will improve society by sparking curiosity and catalyzing action.

                                      The Murie WILD Series is a collaborative project of:
