SUMMARY:Film: Breaking Their Silence-Women on the Frontline of the Poaching War
DESCRIPTION:An event of the\n2019 Wildlife Conservation Film Festival\n\nFilm Website:  www.breakingtheirsilence.com \nFree and Open to the Public\nDirected by Kerry David\, 90 minutes\, 2019\nFollowed by a panel discussion\, then refreshments provided by the John Jay College Environmental Club\nThe sordid world of wildlife trafficking and poaching is orchestrated by ruthless crime syndicates raking in revenues well in excess of $20 billion. It’s the 4th most profitable illegal enterprise behind drugs\, guns and human trafficking and has now been proven to fund global terrorism. \nThere’s a lens through which this crisis has yet to be examined; through the eyes of the dynamic women fighting silently on the frontlines to end it. \nFilmmaker\, Kerry David\, and her dedicated crew\, pursue a passion that takes them around the globe to meet an unlikely group of heroes who are rising up to do all they can to prevent and reverse these terrible offenses against our planet’s most vulnerable animals. \nThe courageous women of “Breaking Their Silence” open their hearts and share their journeys giving a seldom seen insight into the physical and mental costs of this silent war. Literally risking all to prevent Africa and Asia’s innocent animals from disappearing altogether. \nOur powerful film shines a bright and inspiring light on their intelligence\, empathy\, strength and stamina. Their dedication to the voiceless creatures buckling under the onslaught of this war is nothing short of noble. Each woman will invoke a deeply moving response as you learn how she is conquering insurmountable odds. \nBreaking Their Silence will challenge you to become part of the solution\, and arm you with the means to do so. \nA hopeful film created to inspire and motivate hearts around the world. \nPanel discussion with Monique Sosnowski\, Ph.D.Candidate\, Wildlife Crime and Christopher Gervais\, WCFF and other filmmakers in town for the festival. \n

SUMMARY:Professor Mary Ting\,  The Explorer's Club - 1/14/19\,  6 pm Reception\,  7 pm Program
DESCRIPTION:Mary Ting will give a visual oriented historical\, cultural and personal presentation that examines the complex issue of the Chinese market for endangered species products and the quest for power\, status\, and immortality. From elephant ivory to elephant skin\, rhino horn\, shark fin\, pangolin scales\, tiger and lion parts\, sea cucumber and rosewood – the list of desired luxury items is long and growing as species dwindle and “new traditional” products appear. In order to get behind the how-and-why this came to be\, it is necessary to look at history. \nGuests will sprint through 200 years of history spanning the Century of Humiliations\, the Communist takeover\, the Economic Reforms to the Belt & Road expansion\, all through the lens of the wildlife trade. Chinese traditional symbols\, gift tradition\, shopping\, Western influences\, and societal changes in the meaning of basic words and societal mores\, will all be discussed. Ting’s talk ends with suggestions and hope from within China itself. \nMary Ting is a Chinese American artist\, cultural thinker\, educator\, independent curator\, and writer. She teaches at City University of New York at John Jay College in both the studio art department and the Environmental Justice program. \nMary is a two-time recipient of the New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship\, 2016 Lower Manhattan Cultural Council Residency\, 2010 Gottlieb Foundation grant\, Lambent Fellowship\, and a Pollack Krasner Foundation among others. She curated the recent exhibition\, ENDANGERED! and COMPASSION: For the Animals Great & Small. Along with a MFA in fine art\, she has an advanced degree in Chinese folk art studies from the Central Academy of Fine Art in Beijing. \nMary worked as a consultant for UNICEF Beijing and organized nine photography exhibitions on its social welfare development programs in China. Earthjustice featured her work in the blog post; “The Earth Needs a Good Artist“. \nhttps://www.maryting.com/ \nEvent Webpage:  https://explorers.org/events/detail/chinese-modern-history-the-lust-for-rare-wildlife-products  \nDate:  Monday\, January 14 \nTime:  6:00 pm Reception\, 7:00 pm Program \nLocation:  Club Headquarters\, 46 E. 70th Street NY\, NY 10021 \nMember Ticket Price: $10 \nGuest Ticket Price: $25 \nStudent Ticket Price:  $5 with valid student ID \nPurchase tickets online\n
