Dear Friends,
I want to share some exciting news. A few days ago, my TEDx UF talk, The Role of Human Dignity in Sustainability, surpassed 1 million views! As I mentioned just over a year ago in the initial post about this talk, the preparation and delivery of it was a transformational experience and truly a peak moment.

Broadly this means that hundreds of thousands of people that did not know about the psychology of sustainability, the essentiality of human dignity in sustainability, or Conservation Initiative for the Asian Elephant (CIFAE), now know, and it is likely that they now know enough to make these personally meaningful. This was my intention and purpose at the onset and thru every day for 9 months leading up to the event; but I had no idea of the number of people that my talk might reach.

Going forward my hope is that an ever-increasing number of people will be inspired to teach about and engage in sustainability in ways that improve human dignity, and that they do so with the perspective that human ecology is inextricably linked to and a subset of ecology writ large.

Thanks to all that have watched my talk and contributed to its wonderful success! Ron

Hello Everyone,
I had the supreme honor of a conversation with the amazing Orissa Kelly after performances to benefit our UNESCO Dual Status World Heritage Site campaign where we are seeking to protect ~917,000 acres within a biodiversity hotspot and one of the oldest indigenous peoples of India, the Garo. Hope you enjoy our conversation and thanks for watching!
