E.O. Wilson Biodiversity Foundation hosts a screening of the film, "Field Biologist." Co-Sponsored by the Working Group of the Environment in Latin America, Duke Conservation Society, Big Cats Initiative, Duke Stories for Nature and People (SNAP), and Duke Environmental Alliance

Field Biologist is a film about one young man's journey into the field to follow his passion for birds and do conservation-oriented research in the tropics. The film presents the major challenges facing biodiversity on Earth - climate change and habitat destruction chief among them - while also raising some fundamental questions: What makes someone a scientist? How important is a formal education? What risks are worth taking? What should you do with your life? Please join us for a reception and free film screening of Field Biologist with Director Jared Flesher. Following a 5 pm reception, the film presentation will start at 6 pm and be followed by Q&A with the Director, Jared Flesher. This film is being hosted by the E.O. Wilson Biodiversity Foundation as a powerful example of how a deep and personal experience of nature - participation in the science of biodiversity and the practice of global biodiversity conservation - can help foster a knowing understanding of the importance of biodiversity and inspire stewardship. Learn more about the E.O. Wilson Biodiversity Foundation and our co-hosts - Working Group of the Environment in Latin America, Duke Conservation Society, Big Cats Initiative, Duke Stories for Nature and People (SNAP), and Duke Environmental Alliance - at the event reception and screening.
