Envisioning and fostering future Ecological Civilizations - in the plural: What is possible and achievable by 2050? And how do we get there from here, collaboratively and tangibly, in these headwinds of the future, at this crossroads of civilization? Come join five different stalwarts of the global ecosystem restoration movement - John D Liu, Aude Péronne, Sara Scherr, Michael Pilarski ("Skeeter") and Jon Schull - for a lively, informal 90-minute discussion to kickstart a short series of MasterClasses by the EcoRestoration Alliance and Global Restoration Collaborative, co-hosted and facilitated by Leonard IYAMUREMYE and Phoebe Barnard. Have a clear view of a regenerative future ahead? Come weigh in on our options to build a #regenerativeeconomy and #ecologicalcivilizations (yes, in the plural!).
