SUMMARY:Teaching Climate Change\, Environmental Justice and Sustainability

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:Film:  Gambling on Extinction
DESCRIPTION:A powerful documentary about greed and a merciless battle over a limited resource: wild elephants and rhinos. There is a war against nature raging in the savannahs and jungles of Africa and Asia. The illegal trade in wildlife is estimated to generate $20 billion per year. Wildlife crime is a highly organized business\, luring unscrupulous investors and warlords. We are facing the greatest mass extinction since the era of the dinosaurs and as numbers go down\, the prices go up\, making it a perverse futures market in extinction. \nQ&A with Monique Sosnowski\, Founder at: For The Wildlife Inc. \nAn event of the 2019 EcoCinema Cafe FilmFestival \nAll events are free and open to the public. \nAn Environmental Education Fund EcoCinema Event \n \n

Masters recruits NatGeo Explorer Filipe DeAndrade\, ornithologist Heather Mackey\, river guide Austin Alvarado\, and conservationist Jay Kleberg to join him on the two-and-a-half-month journey down 1\,200 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border. \nThey set out to document the borderlands and explore the potential impacts of a wall on the natural environment\, but as the wilderness gives way to the more populated and heavily trafficked Lower Rio Grande Valley\, they come face-to-face with the human side of the immigration debate and enter uncharted emotional waters.

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

SUMMARY:October 28th - We Remember. We Resist. We Rise.
DESCRIPTION:Five years ago\, our city was hit by Superstorm Sandy\, more dangerous than anything we’d ever seen: 43 New Yorkers lost their lives\, the subway system was flooded\, homes were destroyed\, hundreds of thousands lost power\, and tens of thousands of families were made homeless. The worst impact was felt by our city’s most vulnerable: people of color\, low-income people\, and the elderly.\n\nToday\, extreme weather conditions are only getting worse. Hurricane Harvey devastated the Gulf region of Texas and parts of Louisiana\, and Hurricane Irma ripped ripped through Florida and brought unprecedented damage to islands in the Caribbean. While climate disasters threaten communities around the country and world\, the Trump administration – bought and paid for by fossil fuel billionaires – continues to deny climate science.\n\nJoin our call for New York to be a model of a just transition away from the extractive fossil fuel economy to a 100% renewable energy economy. We want to live in a city where we can all breathe clean air\, where our economy is powered by good jobs and renewable energy\, and where our families are safe from dangerous floods and heat waves.\n\nIt is time for our elected officials to move beyond the nice speeches and take the bold steps that are so urgently needed:\n\nMayor Bill de Blasio \n➤ Get Sandy survivors back in their homes and repair damaged NYCHA and affordable housing\, including addressing mold concerns. Halt developments on waterfront areas until cohesive climate assessments can be integrated; create a flood protection plan for the entire NYC shoreline that prioritizes vulnerable communities; and meaningfully work with communities for emergency preparedness and resiliency. \n➤ Divest New York City’s pension funds from the over $3 billion invested in fossil fuel companies driving climate change. Invest in the just transition to a renewable energy economy that works for all New Yorkers.\n➤ Create good union jobs by requiring all public and private buildings to upgrade to modern energy efficiency standards\, while preserving affordable housing.\nGovernor Andrew Cuomo\n➤ Pass the NYRenews policy platform in 2018. Commit New York State to 100% renewable energy\, thousands of good union jobs and true environmental justice by making polluters pay for the climate-destroying pollution they dump into our air. \nSenator Chuck Schumer\n➤ Stop Trump’s disastrous climate-killing agenda by fully funding the EPA\, blocking McConnell’s dirty energy bill\, and supporting legislation for 100% renewable energy.\n\nOn October 28th\, we will march to remember what was lost to Hurricane Sandy\, and to resist and rise up together. The Peoples Climate Movement NY is one of the 65 groups from throughout NYC that are already part of the growing coalition working to make sure our march on Oct. 28th sends a powerful message. Help us build this day of action. \n\nWe Remember. We Resist. We Rise.\n\n\nMore info:
