Stories Of Hope In The Time Of Environmental Crisis | Amoghavarsha JS
Amoghavarsha JS (Storyteller and Filmmaker) in conversation with Megha Vishwanath (Communications Lead - India, Nothing)
About The Webinar:
Does the climate crisis worry you? Do you fear for the well being of the planet and its children? What if someone told you that there is a narrative of hope and positivity that glimmers through these fears? Seen through the lens of a filmmaker, this session will delve into the beautiful and endangered relationship of man and wild, and the promise it holds - if we look closely.
We will also dive into the interconnectedness of nature - what's common to a polar bear and a remote island in the South Pacific? Could a Lone Ranger deep in the Western ghats hold key to the next pandemic? And many more.
What will the session cover?
1. What do the events of the past year suggest about nature’s resilience?
2. Stories of hope from India’s wild spaces
3. What has the pandemic uncovered about humans’ potential to restore nature’s balance?
