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.

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:

SUMMARY:The Changing History of East Asian Human Manure Fertilization
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Duk-Kyung Choi on April 25th for a lecture on “The Changing History of East Asian Human Manure Fertilization.” In this talk\, Dr. Choi will introduce his recent book Manure Ecology in the Agricultural History of East Asia (Sechang press\, 2016). Here is the abstract: \nFertilizer is the most important factor in raising agricultural productivity by enhancing the fertility of soil. The most common fertilizers in East Asian traditional agriculture were human feces and urine. In this study\, I investigate the socio-economic conditions underlying the use of human feces and urine and the changes in their use in East Asian civilizations. Since ancient times\, the people of East Asia have traditionally supported a large population by utilizing this natural means of fertilization\, yet eventually this practice was replaced in the modern world by the use of agricultural pesticides and chemicals\, all of which have jeopardized the health of the ecosystem and placed human life at risk. We now can examine some of the previously unforeseen consequences of modernization when it comes to human waste. If a new model for economic development in harmony with the environment is urgently demanded\, it seems that one answer can be found in the historical practice of recycling feces and urine as an essential way to preserve human life and maintain a sustainable environment. \n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, April 25th\, 2017\, 1:40-2:40 PM History Department Conference Room 8.65.36NB

SUMMARY:Ethics in Action: Climate Change and NYC
DESCRIPTION:As a low-lying coastal city\, NYC is highly vulnerable to human-induced climate change\, and the sea-level rise and intensive storms that can result. NYC must also be a leader in the effort to decarbonize the energy system\, a challenge encapsulated in the City’s 80×50 plan (to reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions by 80 percent as of 2050). \nYou can join in the fight against climate change in the latest installment of Ethics in Action on Thursday\, March 2 at 6:30 PM. Join Columbia University Professor Jeffrey Sachs for an hour-long discussion with Dr. James Hansen\, one of the wolrd’s leading climate scientists. Together\, they will discuss how New York City can be a leader in the fight to decarbonize the energy system. You will leave the discussion with a clear action plan to engage city officials\, real estate developers\, and others on the moral necessity to help reduce our impact on the environment. You’ll even have the opportunity to ask a question of Dr. Hansen! \nDr. James Hansen\, formerly Director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies\, is an Adjunct Professor at Columbia University’s Earth Institute\, where he directs a program in Climate Science\, Awareness and Solutions. Dr. Hansen is best known for his testimony on climate change in the 1980s that helped raise awareness of global warming. He is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and has received numerous awards including the Sophie and Blue Planet Prizes. Dr. Hansen is recognized for speaking truth to power and for outlining actions needed to protect the future of young people and all species on the planet. \n  \nRSVP HERE: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ethics-in-action-climate-change-and-nyc-tickets-32089558734
