Recent Press
In the past few weeks, our work has been profiled in two different publications. Most recently, The Wall Street Journal Photo Journal posted a small gallery of our work featuring TEAM’s global camera trap study. A big thanks to photo editor Rebecca Horne for working with us on this post. (Learn more about our work in Tanzania here.)
And our local paper, the Methow Valley News, did a very nice profile of us the last week of January. They only kept the article online for a week, but you can read the text of Ann McCreary’s article after the jump.
Natural Histories Project at ESA
The Ecological Society of America recently held its 96th annual meeting in Austin, TX. Our friends from the Natural History Network presented a symposium there, and they brought along our broadsides from the Natural Histories Project. Read what attendee Hayley Gillespie has to say about the “beautiful portraits and inspiring (but often haunting) words” on her blog, biocreativity:
“What I love about this project is that it is both a true celebration of natural history – which is inspiring in itself – but it is also something that can speak to very diverse audiences. It shows the faces of natural history – young and old, male and female, diverse backgrounds. It shows that anyone can be a natural historian, and that everyone can find a reason to care about this field, whether or not it is part of their profession.”

New prison work featured in TED Talk
Recently published prison project images
Our images of the Sustainable Prisons Project were recently published in two magazines. The Winter 2009 issue of Nature Conservancy leads off their Newsfront section with “Green Rehab: Inmates Fuel a Prairie’s Restoration.”
And Mother Jones’ January/February 2010 issue features an article by Beth Schwartzapfel titled “The Green Mile: Can turning prisons into hothouses of sustainability pay off for everyone?”
Nau awards us $10,000 Grant for Change
We’re very excited to announce that we’ve been awarded Nau’s inaugural Grant for Change! Nau, a hip little clothing company based in Portland, Oregon, will support our climate change work over the next year with a $10,000 grant. This year’s award began with an open nomination process that brought in 294 people or projects over six weeks. (It was an inspiring list of independent movers and shakers including our friends photographer Tim Matsui and Derek and Michele Long from Sustainable Connections.) The pool was winnowed down in part by popular vote – thanks to all of you who signed in to give our project the thumbs up! You can view the top 10 finalists and learn more about G4C on Nau’s Web site.
We’ll announce many more details about this new partnership over the coming weeks. If you’re in New York, join us for the kick-off party on November 21, 2009.
A big thank you to all the folks at Nau!
