People and the Natural World: An Exploration of Connections

As the international project coordinator for the Ocean Futures Society, environmental speaker
Céline Cousteau travels the world, studying the intersection of nature and culture. From the
jungles of the Amazon to remote islands near the Arctic, people have always maintained strong
connections with the world around them. Cousteau reveals how our cultures and the plants and
animals that surround us are all interconnected, showing that protection of the environment is
also protection for our diverse cultures.
