Join Chris Monsour for a one-hour journey exploring conservation efforts from the forests and waterways of Ohio to some of the world's most remarkable ecosystems. Through personal stories and experiences, travel with Chris to Trinidad to protect endangered sea turtles, Namibia to learn about cheetah conservation, Australia's Great Barrier Reef to explore marine ecosystems, Thailand to discover how Buddhist monks connect spirituality with environmental stewardship, and Yellowstone National Park to experience wildlife conservation firsthand.
Discover how conservation connects people, cultures, and communities across the globe and how small actions close to home can make a lasting difference. This presentation reminds us that protecting our planet begins wherever we are.
