Environmental Explorers and Adventurers: Pushing the limits to inspire conservation policy and action

We protect what inspires us, and for this, we need to push our limits and experience new wonders. Exploration and adventure bring us awe, challenge and enlightenment. It opens new doors, driving innovation and answering important questions about how we can live in better harmony with our natural world and each other. And it makes for some unforgettable stories that can expand minds and compel action. This session will feature remarkable explorers and adventurers from different walks of life, sharing their unique experiences and helping to explain why nature is essential to humans. We will learn how exploration and adventure – pushing the limits – can help improve scientific knowledge, mobilize for action, and ultimately drive conservation policy.
