Keynote & Panel
Keynote: Restoring Abundance: In A Changing World, Nature Is The Solution
Speaker: Danny Johnson, Head of Marketing and Communications, The Pacific Division at The Nature Conservancy
As the climate crisis intensifies with heat waves, droughts, megafires, and floods, restoring abundance in nature becomes a critical imperative. This discussion focuses on the idea of moving beyond sustaining an already diminished state of nature towards active restoration of the richness and array of critical natural functions we depend on for survival in a climate-changed world. By focusing on innovative strategies to restore our oceans, revive freshwater flows in rivers, wetlands, and aquifers, and create resilient networks of wildlands, we can harness nature’s power to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. Investing in these transformative solutions not only protects natural landscapes but also fosters climate resilience, ensuring a thriving and balanced environment for future generations
Panel: The Butterfly Effect of Sustainable Innovation: From Land to Sea
Panelists: David Songstad, USDA National Program Leader; Sabrina Williams, Founder & CEO of SEED; Johanan Dujon, Founder & CEO of Algas Organics
Moderator: Cassie Rauser, Ph.D., Founder & Principal at MorphoStrategies
Understanding the impact of small actions on ecosystems is crucial. Ecosystems provide vital resources like food, water, and medicine. In this panel, industry experts discuss how small actions can significantly impact ecosystems, which provide essential resources like food, water, and medicine. They’ll explore what nature preservation and repair means for Earth’s future, human well-being, and ecological stability.
